1347 Robert de Stoteville of Covingham sued John Chaddeworthe of Little Carleton, John de Hardeshulle, knight, and others claiming they had disseised Robert of his free tenement and 26s. 8d. rent in Little Carleton and committed a violent rescue of animals distrained by Robert for the arrears of rent. John de Hardreshull responded that he is the tenant of 3 acres of the land from which Robert claims the said rent, that he holds it jointly with his wife Maud and that he held it on the day on which the writ was issued, 20 June 21 Edward III [1347], which certain Maud is named in the writ. The date of the assize was Monday next after the feast of St Peter in Chains in 21 Edward III [6 August 1347].

The last name og Mussenden is not 100% but it's highly probable. The only source is a part of the Visitation of Kent that is unpublished. I have a lot of info on this family.
