1. Harleian Manuscript 1560, Also mentioned in his
wife's codicil dated February 24, 1403 he is mentioned several times,
including: "To my husband Willliam de Tendrynnge 40 marks of my goods if
he do not impede my exors."
2. Engleheart, The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, (Courtesy of Suellen (Clopton) DeLoach
Blanton), p. 9, Engleheart cites Sir Harris Nicholas' book, "History of
the Battle of Agincourt," p. 361, which states Sir William fought at
Agincourt in 1415. Because their
daughter, Alice was not admitted Lord of the Manor until1421, Engleheart feels
certain Sir William died, then, between 1415 and 1421, 1420 or 1421 being the probable year.
3. Hervy, The Visitation of Suffolk 1561, (Courtesy of Suellen (Clopton) DeLoach
Blanton), p. 23, Refers to their portraits in Long Melford Church. He wears a tabard of Clopton with an
ermine spot on the bend, she wears a kirtle of Mylde and mantle of Clopton with
the ermine spot.Also, "The Cloptons of Suffolk," quotes: "Katherin, d. of Mylde, brought
wth her the mannor of Kentwell, in the countie of Suff., to Sr Thomas Clopton,
Knight, being her husband."
4. Engleheart, The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, (Courtesy of Suellen (Clopton) DeLoach
Blanton), p. 8-9, The monumental brasses of both Sir William de Tendering and Katherine Mylde are
found in the south chapel of the church.
They are considered among the finest in England. Sir, Williams brass, in full armour,
resting his head on his helm, bears a crest of feathers. Citing Weaver's "Funeral
Monuments" Written in 1631, the brass is described: "Upon the Pavement before the high
Aultar lyeth an auncient Gravestone, having thereon the figure of a Knight in
compleat Armour, resting his Head upon his Gauntlet, with this circumscription: 'Hic iacent Tumulati, Dominus Willelmus
Tendering, miles, et Katherine
Clopton uxor eiusdem:
obierunt anno Domini 1408."
Engleheart notes the incorrect death date of 1408. Possibly Weaver misread the date and
assumed they both died in that year.
Unfortunately, many publications have used this date of 1408 which is
incorrect on both accounts.Also, in her will dated February 24, 1403, proved
June 18, 1403, she states she wishes "to be buried in the Chapel of the
Church of Stoke Neyland on the south side of the church before the altar of said
chapel."
5. Engleheart, The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, (Courtesy of Suellen (Clopton) DeLoach
Blanton), p. 25, Citing John Weever's "Funeral Monuments," Engleheart
notes that although no old glass remains in the windows of Stoke-by-Nayland, Weever did mention in his 1631 document
two windows in particular.
"In the east window of the south part of the church are the
portraits of Sir John Howard, Knight, and Dame Alice, his wife, daughter and
heiress of Sir William Tendring, Kt."
6. She is mentioned several times in her mother's Codicil dated
February 24, 1403.
7. Her will, dated October 8, 1426 states she wishes "to
be buried in the church at Stoke Neyland in South aisle next to my
father."
8. He is mentioned in his mother-in-law's Codicil dated February
24, 1403. Although his
relationship is not specified, the entry reads: "To Sir John Howard a piece of silver gilt called
Flatpec; also to Alice my daughter a furred cloak and other furs, a long chest
and napery &c."

10. In her mother's will, dated October 8,
1426, she mentions her daughter Roberta Howard, and leaves to her daughter,
after the death of her husband, Sir John, "all the manor of Stoke Neyland
and the tenement called Bachoues."

Abigail was the sister, not daughter, of Sir Thomas. Cites Langston, Buck and Beard, "Pedigrees of Some of
the Emperor Charlemagne's Descendants, II (1974) pp. xcviii-xcix. His will was made May 12, 1608. Abigail would have been 44 when her
daughter, Muriel, was born, therrefore it is safe to say Abigail's birthdate
would be a bit earlier.
