- [S364] Dorothy Wertz, Notes Compiled in County Essex, England on the Leggett Family, John Mockynge of London died in the 21st year of Edward III [1347], leaving 21 houses in St. Mary's Southwark (district of London south of the Thames), two shops by the Waterwarf, two shops by Thomas atte Hyde, land in Bosden, Kent, land in Totenham (then a town north of London), land and houses in London in the parishes of St. Leonard, Estchep (now Eastcheap), St. Margaret Briggestret (Bridge Street), and St. Magnus, also land in Hadleigh in Suffolk and in Hyntlesham, Suffolk. The property passes to John's wife Nicholaa for one year, after which she died [1348]. By her bequest the property went to John Wroth, who became the guardian of her two minor sons, John and Nicholas. John died several weeks after his mother. (Possibly of plague, which recurred in epidemics from 1348-49 onward for about a century.) According to one version of the case, John Wroth, after six years [1354], sold the guardianship of the estate to John Malawyn, who also bought "for three or four marks the marriage of Nicholas," John Mockynge's surviving minor son. Malawyn also bought the wardship of Maud Durant, whom he married to his own son. John Malawyn married Nicholas Mockynge to Margery, his daughter. According to law, the wardship and marriage should have been the right of the king.
