| Notes |
- His will dated 26 Oct 1487 is in Latin and very difficult to read owing to the type of scribe tool used to write it. He wishes to be buried at the church of Wickhambreaux and leaves the usual bequests to the church. He names his wife Isabelle and two sons, Robert and John. He also names a daughter, Agnes whom he later refers to as Anna. He also names his "sister Beatrice Harryson". It is impossible to determine with just this one document whether she is a biological sister to Robert Austen who married a Mr. Harryson, or if she is the sister-in-law either married or a spinster and being the biological sister of his wife, Isabelle.
