Document Ref DDWB/20/10
The will of Joan (de Everingham) de Monceaux, widow of John de Monceaux, provides sufficient evidence to show that she was the mother of John Monceaux, Esq., of Barmston (d. bef 16 Aug 1426) and his younger brothers. The will of "Johanna Mounceux, quondam uxor Johannis Mounceux Domini de Berneston " was dated 1420, and named as her executors her younger sons Alexander Monceaux and Robert Monceaux ( "filium meum" in the will) [5]. The will shows her sons bearing the names not previously noted in the Monceaux family (Alexander and Robert): they were logically the namesakes of their Everingham uncles.
DEATH NOTE: it's possible that some of the family & children of this individual died during the BLACK DEATH PLAGUE. Oct 1347-1350
