• Notes

  WILLIAM WOLLASTON, the eldest son of William of Perton, removed into the parish of Over Penne, where he purchased the Grange in the hamlet of Trescot, which lies a mile beyond Perton. He married Jane Jurden or Jordayne of Dunsley, who died before him, leaving several children, and was buried at Penn 5th May 1591. William lived to a great age, and died 7th Jan. 1603-4. He was buried at Penn on 9th January following, and it was found at the inquest held after his death that he died seised of the Grange and mill at Trescot in Over Penne, and also of lands in Trysull, Womburne, and. Overton, and that his heir was his son Hugh, who was then 50 years of age. His Will is not on record, hut we know from his son's Will that it contained a legacy 'of 8l. to the poor of Over Penne, to be distributed in bread. He had several children, of whom only four can be identified with certainty, viz. i. HUGH, his son and heir; II. THOMAS, who died in his father's lifetime, and was huried at Penn 2d June 1600;III. ALICE; and IV. ELIZABETH, who "both married their cousins. It appears from the Registers of Penn that William Wollaston of the Grange was not the only one of his family who was living at that time in Penn for 'Harri Wollaston' had seven children baptized there between 1669 and 1684. I am wholly unable to fix Harri's place in the pedigree, for he is too old to be the son or nephew of William of the Grange, and he is too young to be his brother. William Wollaston purchased Trescott Grange in 1557 from an assignee of the Crown and was thereafter known as William Wollaston of the Grange. He died possessed of the mill at Trescott and lands in Trysull, Wombourne and Overton. He left a legacyof £8 to the poor of the parish of Over-Penn in which Trescott Grange is situate to be distributed in bread. Domsday With the Wollastons His son Hugh maintained this costom, providing for them in his will.
