Biography

"Jeffeey Jocelyn, of Hide Hall in Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, and of the manor of Shellow-Bowels or Shellow-Jocelyn in Willingale-Doe, co. Essex, died between 1360 and 1373. He married Margaret Rokell, daughter of Robert. On 28 Dec. 1338 he leased the manor of Shellow-Jocelyn to Robert le Marshall of Northweld and Margery his wife during their lives, subject to a rent charge of £6 a year during the life of his (Jeffrey's) mother. This manor passed out of the Jos- selyn family into the possession of the Torrell family, being called TorrelTs Hall or Shellow-Torrell; but it came again into the possession of the Josselyns some two hundred years later (vide infra, 23)."^[1]
