Hutchins' [3] makes the next member of the Martin family to be Thomas Martin, who married a daughter of Sir John Clevedon. He died in 1485, and on the 8th November a writ of Diem Clausit Extremum was issued upon his death in the counties of Somerset and Dorset. This writ issued out of chancery is evidence that he was one of the king's tenants in capite, and the jury had to inquire of what lands he died seised, and their value, and who was the next heir.[4]
