Associated Surnames - WASSE, PLOWMAN
FOXLEY 1 Billingford and Bylaugh (St. Mary)
The first Porter to appear in records concerning Foxley 2 was John Porter who follows. Another John Porter appeared in the 1559 Subsidy Tax list in Foxley. There are no Muster returns for Foxley.
John Porter (b.c. 1520) married Elizabeth ____ in about 1542 [B ] and had at least the following children 3 who were likely born in Foxley:
1. *Francis born about 1544 (see below); and
2. John born about 1548 4.
John senior died in about July of 1549 and administration was granted 9 August 1549 5 to his widow Elizabeth.
Francis Porter was probably born about 1544 and married Dorothy Wasse (see below) 15 September 1571 at St. Michael Coslany in Norwich [B007] and had the following likely born in Foxley:
a. John b.c. 1572 6 (see below);
b. Francis b.c 1575 (see below);
c. Elizabeth b.c. 1578;
d. Dorothy 7 b.c. 1582 and who m. John Pigge 10 Oct. 1610 in Foxley 8;
e. Margaret b.c. 1585; and
f. James b.c. 1587 (see below).
The first four children were left bequests in the 1583 will 9 of their aunt Elizabeth Guye of Norwich, the sister of Dorothy Wasse.
Francis did not appear in the 1559 Subsidy Tax list confirming that he was, at that point, too young to have held land or significant property. His will 10, made 23 Feb. 1588/9 and proved 19 March 1588/9, left his land, described as a tenement formerly of John his father, “edified at the mort”, a close called Crossbyes and 2 1/2 acres in the West Croft to his wife Dorothy for life and then to his sons John and Francis and other lands and money to his other children Elizabeth, Dorothy, Margaret 11 and James and to the two children of his brother John - Vincent and
Elizabeth.
Dorothy was probably the Dorothy Porter who married Lawrence Browne 125 May 1589 in Elsing, three parishes to the south of Foxley.
1.1. John Porter (b.c. 1572 son of Francis) married Sara Grange 13 of Elsing in Bawdeswell 12 August 1600 [C63] and had the following children issue baptised in Foxley:
i. John 2 October 1602 but he died and was buried there 3 days later;
ii. *Francis 14 28 Dec. 1603 and who married Mary ___ [A78] (see below);
iii. Joane 18 Sept. 1608; and
iv. *Vincent 28 Dec. 1610 15 [C30? 16].
John Porter appeared in Beckhall in Bylaugh Manor (Billingford Manor Court) as a tenant and was a Church warden in Foxley in 1602. He also appeared in the Beckhall in Billingford Manor in 1617 for failing to attend the session and likewise in 1621 in the Beckhall in Bylaugh Manor. Sara, the wife of John Porter of Foxley, died in 1619/20 and was buried in Bawdeswell. John died 1646? 17 but no will or administration has been found.
1.1.1. Francis Porter who was born in 1603 the son of John and Sarah, married Mary _____ [A78] and had:
i. William baptised in Foxley 1 January 1629/30 18; and
ii. John baptised in Foxley 12 January 1633/4 and who likely died before 1669;
iii. Mary alive and un-married in 1669 but who died between 17 April 1686 and 18 May 1687 according to the Manor Court Rolls; and
iv. Sarah alive and un-married in 1669.
Francis was a disclaimer in the 1664 Arms Visitation, and in the Hearth Tax Returns of the same year his property, or that of Francis Jr. (the son of James), was described as vacant. He was likely the Francis Porter who died in Foxley in about August of 1669 19 and by his will 20 left his estate to his wife Mary (who seems to have died between 1 August 1671 when Francis’s will was proved and 13 July 1676 when the Foxley Manor Court Rolls suggested she had died) and to his children William, Mary and Sarah Porter. At the time he was referred to as Francis the Elder and was a worstead weaver.
1.1.2. Vincent Porter who was possibly the Vincent born in 1610 the son of John and Sara, above, married Elizabeth Corker 21 [C30] 6 October 1636 in Little Witchingham [Eyn] 22 and they were probably the parents of the following:
1. Elizabeth d.o. Vincent Porter bapt. 4 Feb. 1637/8 Norwich St. Saviour;
2. Amee d.o. Vincent Porter bapt. 9 July 23 1643 Norwich St. Augustine; and
3. Anne d.o. Vincent Porter bapt. 2 Feb. 1644/5 Norwich St. Augustine.
Elizabeth Porter the wife of Vincent Porter was buried in Norwich St. Mary Coslany 30 Oct. 1653 and Vincent is very likely the following:
Vincent Porter married Mrs. Mary Lodge [D16] in Norwich All Saints 15 May 1654 24 and was likely the Vincent Porter who filed Exemption Certificates for the Hearth Tax in St. Gregory Parish from April 1671 to Jan. 1673/4 25. Vincent Porter was buried in Norwich St. Gregory 13 December 1677 26. [Will?] He may have married for a third time to Ann _____ because Ann Porter, widow, married Richard Gargil, widower, in 1681 in St. Gregory (his wife Mary having in died Jan. 1680/1). Richard Gargil was buried 2 April 1685 in St. Gregory and Ann Gargil widow was buried 14 Dec. 1697 in St. Gregory 27.
1.2. Francis Porter (b.c. 1575 son of Francis) married Dorothy Wiggett in Foxley 16 28 Jan. 1608/9 [C68] 29 and Francis had at least the following children:
i. Anne baptised in Foxley 29 June 1610 30;
ii. *William (see below);
iii. Lidia who was unmarried by 1628; and
iv. Alice who was unmarried by 1628.
Francis Porter was mentioned continuously in the Billingford Manor Court Rolls for his property in Beckhall in Billingford for failing to appear at the court sessions from 1611 to 1623 and Dorothy Porter, widow, appeared in sessions in 1628 in Beckhall Billingford and 1629 in Bechall Bylaugh as a witness to a surrender of land. Francis Porter was the witness to 1621 will of Robert Hempstely and appeared to have sold 31 his three roods of property in Hegge in Foxley around this time to Robert Brigham the younger. His 18 ½ acres were assumed by his son William in 7 Charles (1631) 32.
Francis Porter, householder, died and was buried in Foxley 24 April 1623 33 (no will has been found). Dorothy Porter, widow, died and was buried in Foxley 24 Aug.1630 and her will 34 left her lands in Foxley to her children 35 William, Lidia and Alice.
1.2.1. William Porter (b.c. 1622 son of Francis 36) married Sarah _____ in about 1645 and had at least the following two children:
i. William (b.c. 1646) who was under 21 in 1663 and who received Hedge or Heggs Close 28 April 1631 from the will of his mother and died in 1691 with a will 37 which gave most of his assets, except for small amounts for his six god-children, to his sister Dorothy Baldings/Baldwin;
ii. Dorothy who married 1.John Pigg (see above - he died in 1680), 2. Henry Baldwin/Balding in about 1680 but was widowed by 1691 and 3. Henry Miller had at least Margaret and Isobel Balding by 1691;
iii. Sarah who may have died between 1663 and 1685; and
iv. Lydia who may have died between 1663 and 1685.
William died prior to the 1679 Manor Court and his will 38 provided for his wife Sarah and his son William and the three daughters of his son William - Sarah, Lydia and Dorothy 39. Sarah died between 1686 and 1690 and her will 40 provided for her son William and her daughter Dorothy the wife of Henry Baldwin. Almost certainly, William was the son of Francis Porter and Dorothy Wiggott (above) whose land holdings also included Hegge.
1.3. James Porter (b.c. 1590 son of Francis) married Margaret Davey in about 1616 [B54] and had at least three daughters who were referred to in the 1637 will 41 of their grandmother Anne Davey, widow made in 1635/6, and one son who was referred to in a manor court surrender by James and Margaret in 1624:
i. Anne (b.c. 1618) who appeared by the records of Foxley Manor Court 42 to have surrendered her property in Foxley to her will and on 8 June 1658 the lands were to go to “my sister Lydia Porter after my decease”;
ii. Lydia (b.c. 1621) who, as the daughter of James Porter, was admitted to land in Billingford in 1661 43, married Henry Lynn 44, a widower of Twiford, 9 May 1665 by license in St. Michael at Plea Norwich 45 and died 6 August and was buried 8 August 1707 in Foxley leaving a will 46 which provided for her brother Thomas and five of his children (Hannah Mason widow, Thomas, Joshua, Rehoboth and Elizabeth), for two children of her deceased brother Francis (John and Margaret the wife of Isaac Waynford), and for three children of her deceased brother John (John, Mary the wife of Henry Thirtle and Hannah the wife of Edward Bucke);
iii. Margaret baptised in Foxley 22 June 1623; and

v. *John (b.c. 1632) (see below); and
vi.*Thomas (b.c. 1635) (see below).
As Lydia Porter, the daughter of James Porter, was admitted to his land in Billingford in 1661 it is very likely that James Porter died in that year or the preceding year. Lydia may have died before 1667 and there were no Archdeacon’s Transcripts for Foxley during those years.

b.

f. Sarah who likely died before 1705; and
g. Susanna who likely died before 1705.
Thomas Porter of Foxley was on the 1664 list of disclaimers, as was Francis above. The baptisms of his children probably fell within the gap from 1634 to 1666 in the Archdeacon’s Transcripts. Thomas bought 32 acres in Foxley in 1678 65. He died 10
October 1705 “aged 71" 66 (as Thomas the Elder), and was buried in Foxley 12 October,
and his will 67 gave his lands to Elizabeth his wife and his children Joshua, Thomas, Rehoboth, Hannah Mason, Sarah, Susanna and Elizabeth. Elizabeth his widow died in about 1719. Most of the Foxey Porters of the 1700s seem to have descended from this Thomas and [?his wife Anne [D20] and, later,] Elizabeth [D21].
Additionally, the following Porters were resident in Foxley:
James Porter of Foxley (b.c. 1640) married Sarah Andrews 19 May 1664 in Foulsham [D49] 68 and had the following children baptised in Foxley:

WASSE 74 - Norwich Over the Water 75
Robert Wace of Norwich instituted a suit in 1543 or 1544 against Thomas Porter and his wife Elizabeth the widow of Nicholas Norton of Costessey 76 over “the price of barley” 77. He was likely the Robert Wase of Costessey who with his wife Alice has three children baptised there 78 - Thomazine 1561/2, Agnes 1564 and John 1565/6, and was the witness to the 1563 NCC will of Robert Amys of Costessey. Francis Wase, who married Johan Quinton in 1581 in Costessey and had 10 children baptised there before he died in 1597, was also likely a son of Robert and Alice. Rye in Norfolk Families (at p.969) notes a Robert Wace who was of Cromer in 1522 and says that the name is Norman and occurred in the 1450 Inquisition PM of William Wace and another in 1564 to William Wace, yeoman.
