Inquisition at Winchelsea 2 Henry V (1415)
John Rykhill, as in his right of Joan his wife and Elizabeth her sister, daughters of William, Lord Echyngham, Knight and of Joan his wife have land which descended to them by hereditary right on the death of Joan their mother and held of the king in chief by fee-farm ete etc
Most records have Joan Echyngham, daughter of William Echyngham married to William Rykhill. A Kent will for William Rykhill dated 1406 and he mentions his wife Rose and she leaves a will also and mentions sons William and John. I would suspect that John the son is the husband. Also most records has Joan and Elizabeth as daughters of Alice Batisford lst wife of William Echyngham and Joan Fitzalan his second. This Elizabeth Echyngham goes on to marry Thomas Hoo who died 1420
Need to straighten out the Rykhill connection as well as mother of these girls. Any comments appreciated .

previously been settled upon one John Lee (to whom he was probably
related) by Richard Bruyn [MP] and his wife, Joan, the judge's grand
daughter. Bruyn and our Member sat together in the Parliament of 1435
and may perhaps have married sisters, for in November 1441 Lee conveyed
a reversionary interest in his manor of Aston to Bruyn, whom he
described as his 'brother'. In this event, he would have been the son
of John Rickhill (shire knight for Kent in 1423), and a kinsman by
marriage of John's eldest brother, William, with whom he attended the
Commons of 1420.(8)

Re: John Rykhill
Hello Matthew,
Thank you for posting the Lee/Rikhill data.
The article at Arch. Cant. xxxii.55-70 should refer to a Monumental
Brass in Northfleet. This was to William Rikhill (d.1433) and his wife.
She was most likely Katherine Rykhill, sister of John, Robert and
Richard Coventre, citizens and mercers of London. They were all
mentioned along with William Rykhll in an entail of 'St. Mary le Bow
104/11' seen at the "British History Online" site. John atte Lee was
involved in the settlement of the property in 1409 and 1410.
All the best,
