Previous Lords:
The second moiety of Marlston was held by James Braybrook, who died seised of it in 1588 and was succeeded by his son William and grandson Richard in turn. Richard died in 1651. Two-thirds of his estate had been sequestered for recusancy, and Humphrey Hide, the husband of his daughter and heir Margaret, petitioned the committee for compounding to recover his wife's inheritance. In this he succeeded in 1652, but he died the same year, when the estates were again sequestered, since Margaret refused to take the oath of abjuration. She had sold this moiety to Thomas Holte and John Heron in 1652, but in the next year James Heron and William Keate petitioned to recover the estate. The further history of this estate does not appear.
