Hello All,

In 2005 I posted information from a charter provided by W. P.
Baildon
which proved Reginald de So[o]thill was the father of the earliest
known
John de Sothill, and himself the earliest known ancestor of that
family [1].

To this can be added Elias or Helias (rendered Ellis in the text)
de
Sothill, father of Reginald, as evidenced by the following charter of
his
son:

' 1686. Quit-claim by Reginald son of Ellis de Sothill to
the monks of (Monk-)bretton of 20 acres of land in
Swallow Hill (in Hoyland Swaine), including an acre
which Suane de Hoiland gave them, concerning which
a plea had been moved in the court of Roger de Lascy
of Pontefract, for which the monks gave him 3 marks.
1194-1211.
Chartul. of Monkbretton, at Woolley Hall, f. 264d;
St. Mary's Tower records, York; Dodsw. MS. viii, f. 210d.

Sciant presentes et futuri quod ego Reginaldus filius Elie
de
Sothil quietam clamavi de me et de heredibus meis xx' acras terre,
illas scilicet quas Willelmus faber tenuit in Sualewchil, et illam
scilicet quam Suanus de Hoiland dedit monachis de Bretton in puram
et perpetuam elemosinam, unde placitum fuit inter me et monachos
de Bretton in curia Rogeri de Cestria de Pontefracto per preceptum
regis, totum rectum meum et clameum supra monachos dictors pro
tribus marcis quas monachi mihi dederunt. Hiis testibus: Roberto
le Walas, Adam de Rainavill, Willelmo de Stapleton, Johanne de
Birch[in], Ivone de Lungvilers, Johanne Malherb, Johanne Tirel,
Radulfo de Lamara, Roberto Paitevin, Willelmo de Lungvilers. ' [2]


This will add one more generation to the family, and push the
known
chronology back to the mid 12th century.

NOTES

[1] J. Ravilious, <Reginald de Soothill and his descendants>, SGM,
30 Sept 2005, citing the following from William Paley Baildon,
F.S.A.,
"Note on the Religious and Secular Houses of Yorkshire, Vol.
I" (The
Yorkshire Archaeological Society Record Series, 1894), XVII:
155-6 :

" 14. A.D. 1344. - Henry de Sothill, chivaler, claims against the
Prior of S. Oswald's of Nostel 34 acres of land in Sothill,
in which the Prior has no entry save after the disseisin
which John de Warenna, late Earl of Surrey, unjustly made
against Reginald de Sothill, great-grandfather of Henry,
whose heir he is; Reginald was seised as of fee and right
temp. Edw. I., and from him the right descended to John as
son and heir, and from John to another John as son and heir,
and from him to Henry, who now claims, as son and heir.
The Prior says that John de Warenne did not disseise
Reginald de Sothill, and as to this puts himself on the
country.
The jury say that John de Warrenne did unjustly disseise
Reginald, as Henry says.
Therefore let Henry recover seisin; and the Prior is in
mercy. "
