He afterwards frequently occurs in the Recog. Rolls, and in an enrolled writ of ouster le main, 1443, Dec. 12, which sets forth the Inq. p. m. 21 Hen.

This John also occurs in the same rolls in a family feud with Isabel, wife of John Wareyn; and in 1477 he and his brother Thomas, Nicholas DAVENPORT, and Hugh his brother, were all bound over in 200 marks to keep the peace towards her. The year following he enters into a similar recognizance - Isabel and William de Tabley, clerk, being the recognizees. Several other recogs. of a like kind also occur, one being conditioned that he would appear at Chester Castle. He next occurs in the Plea Rolls, 31 Hen. VI, with Thomas de DAVENPORT of BROMEHALL, gentilmon - the latter having aided, counselled, and abetted divers felonies. He occurs in the usual commissions of the age (the last in 1474), and died Oct. 13, 1478.]
