Notes for Jane Morris
Martin P-L writes:
In 1677 Peter's widow Jane (or Johanna) and her eldest son, Richard, sued a William Powis, linen draper of St Clement Danes in Co. Middx., over board and lodging he had or had not given to her two youngest sons, Peter and Thomas. Some money was alleged to have been deposited with Thomas Rudge, a kinsman to both of them. Since Rudge was the husband of Winifred, sister of Peter Powys dec'd, it looks as if the draper William was Peter's son by his first marriage. Rudge would have been uncle by marriage to all of them.
Jane and Richard were also involved, as defendants, in a series of suits brought by her Morris relatives. Indeed, in 1703, under a Writ of Execution, she and Richard were ordered to meet the Morrises in the church porch at Clun, and there hand over to them the money they owed. They failed to comply, and she evaded the next writ by hiding in her house. They were then tried for contempt of court.
Jane was a tough old boot in more ways than one. She outlived her husband by 63 years, by which time only one of her sons was still alive.

Will notes for Jane Morris
From the Northants VCH genealogy volume, p. 257, her will was proved at Hereford Consistory Court on 30 July 1722 by her son Peter. It also says she was dau. and heir. of John Morris of Rochford, co Hereford.
I have started the will ordering process. How much was she heir to? her personal estate seems to have been under £20.
