Margorie
Farndale, daughter of Richard Farndale, (FAR00044) might have been born at Sheriff
Hutton in about 1409 (Richard's
Will). This
assumes she was 26 in 1435 since she became an executor to her mother’s will in
1435 was still under marriageable age, but old enough for this responsibility.
1435
The Will of Richard Farendale,
proved at Sherifhoton 21 Dec 1435.

And I bequeath 26s 8d for mending a service

And to the fabric of the Cathedral Church of
St Peter York, 12d.
And I bequeath to my daughter Margorie at her
marriage 10 marks, if she live to be marriageable age. And if she
die before she arrives at her years of discretion, I wish the said 10 marks to
be divided equally between my daughters Agnes and Alice.

40s and a bed.
And to the four orders of friars mendicant of
York 20s and two quarters of corn to be divided in equal portions.

And as regards the rest of my funeral

The rest of my goods, not bequeathed above, my debts having been
paid, I bequeath to the said Margorie, my daughter, to
be divided among them in equal parts.
And I make the said Thomas Robynson
and John Couper and Margorie my daughter, my executors, faithfully to implement the
terms of my will.
Witnesses; Robert, Vicar of the Church of Hoton,
