Heydon who bought the manor of Hexham of the Crown in 1632 with sev[era]l other Estates sold some part of his purchase to the Piercy Family, & what Mr Wm. Rutter has s[ai]d to my son today amounts to the same thing. You see by the deeds what Sr. J. Heydon sold to Sr. J. Fenwick & the original patent f
