Notes |
- Richard received a bequest from the Will of his step-father, John Porredge, which left him "to my wife's son, Richard Rucke 5 pounds in one year". Further, Richard was to receive the reversion of real property - tenement and grounds - in St. Dunstan's, Canterbury that had been left to his mother by John Porredge, upon her death. That property, during 1582, was in the occupation of Bartholomew Rowell.
