44 The English Ancestry of Wills. Further, as no reference whatever is made to Mrs. Hewit, but half the estate is to go at once to her sons, and most of the remainder on the death of the widow, it can hardly be doubted that the mother had deceased. 23 ii. Daughter (?), b. ; mar. Beteryche, and had (1) Matthew, 5 and (2) John. These sons, as stated above, were not of age when Robert died, but as Matthew was to have £4, which was to go to John, in case the elder brother died before he became of age, which is a larger sum than is indi- vidually given to those certainly known to be Robert's grand- children, we are disposed to regard Matthew and John as the children of a daughter who also died before her father. An Alice Beteryche is given a small legacy by Reynold, but whether of this family is not known. 24 iii. Sissely [Cicely], b. about 1525 or earlier; mar. John Blosse, and had (1) John 5 the eldest, (2) Robert, (3) Thomas, (4) Anne, (5) Bridget, and (6) a child, born in 1560 as the Will of Isabell shows. The dates of birth of all but the last are unknown ; clearly however the eldest must have been only a child, when their grandfather died in 1556/7. John Blosse is made executor of Robert's Will with Hewit, and sole ex- ecutor of Isabell's. The family of Bloss, — the name some- times spelled Blois,— is found in Ipswich in the Parish of St. Nicholas as early as 1448, and in that town or its vicinity from the fifteenth century to the seventeenth and later.
