Henry Melton was born in 1512 in England. He died in 1562 in Stanton-Saint-John, England -15-. He has reference number 1529. Their wills are in the Bishops Registry of Oxford (Ref. 4 pp14-15) Two children were mentioned,
Richare and Elizaberth.
The following is from the Volume: The Family of Melton/Milton, by Hugh M. Melton. Henry Milton who resided in Stanton-Saint-John, England. He and his wife, Agnes, wills are in the Bishop's Registry at Oxford. From the wills of Agnes, two children are mentioned, Richard and Elizabeth, with an additional reference to "my son William Howze". It is not known if William is from a previous marriage or if he is the husband of the Elizabeth, my belief is that he is the Husband of Elizabeth. Both Henry and Agnes were dead by 1562 and left only Richard to preserve the Melton/Milton name. Their bodies were interred at Stanton-Saint-John, England.
In the Will of Henry, great grandfather of the poet, there is provision "I give to Isabel my daughter a Bullock and a half quarter or of barley, and Richard my son shall keep the said Bullock until he is three years old; item I give to Roland Mylton and Alys Mylton, each of them half a quarter of barley. (page 15, Ref. 4)
In the Will of Agnes Melton/Milton, there is mentioned "--my daughter Elizabeth ---and my son Richard, -----my son William Howse----
As you can see Henry named the daughter Isabel and Agnes named Daughter Elizabeth, neither one named the other, so it is my belief that they are one in the same Elizabeth Isabel Milton. And of the Will of Henry Milton the mention of Roland Mylton and of Alys Mylton has one to believe that they are either children of Henry, possibly of a previous marriage, or more than likely brothers of Henry.
