Thomas Bennett of Clapcot, Berkshire married Agnes Molins of Mackney, Oxfordshire. [1]
Sometime after 1531 Thomas leased the manor of Rush and lands at Clapcot for a term of years ending in 1550. After a brief period in the hands of Thomas Dynham, the interest was demised to Agnes, the widow of Thomas Bennet, for another 41 years. Agnes eventually conveyed her interest to her son Richard Bennett. [2]
Thomas had his will drawn up on 4 April 1547 describing himself as Thomas Bennett of Clapcot within the parish of Allhallows Wallingford.[3][4] He made bequests to and mentioned:
Thomas's will passed probate on 7 February 1547/8.[3]
