- Will
Will proved
Henry Hore died between 28 November 1589 when he made his will,
and 27 June 1590 when it was proved.
Henry held land with his father from the Drakes at Ashe in
Musbury, and was living at neighboring Compyne between 1566 and
1580. The earliest surviving records fo the manors of Combpyne
and Axmouth (1566) show that Henry Hore had been granted a
reversion of copyhold premises, then being held by Margaret
Wykes in widowhood, to hold for his life. He does not appear on
the Combpyne Muster Roll of 1569, so was evidently not then in
possession. By the next Manorial Survey about 158-, he was in
possession of land leases from Combpyne Manor, including a
tenement and cottage with fourteen acres and eighty-four acres
of barton (farm) land, and from Downhumfraville Manor, at
Axmouth, he held a tenement and thirty-six acres plus eight
acres of barton land and grazing on the common for eighty-four
sheep.
A later marginal note states that "Fides Hore widow holds the
customary tenements. The barton lands granted to Barnarde Hore
(her eldest son), and Henry and William Hore his brothers." As
will be seen below, some of the barton lands became a matter of
contention between Barnard and his mother. The word "mort"
besides her name on a grant of reversion dated 23 January 33
Elizabeth (1591) to Barnard and Henry Hore from Phillippe, Earl
of Arundel was probably added at a later date, because the Manor
Survey of 1596 indicated that Fides was still living at that
time.
The will of Henry Hore left substantial sums of money to his
children and the residue to his wife Fides, who was to be
executrtix. He named as overseers "my father-in-law" William
Osborne, Esquire, and "his son" John Osborne, Esquire, Roger
Hore, and John Vy. William Osborne was a witness and the
inventory, recorded 1 April 32 Elizabeth (1590), was taken by
William Osborne, George Hore, and John Osborne.
