yr. s. of Thomas Ellis† of Kennington by his 1st w. Katherine, da. and h. of John Barry of Sevington, Kent. Archaeologia Cantiana, xv. 5, 15. It is assumed, incorrectly, in the biography of Thomas Ellis in The Commons 1386-1421, iii. 10-11, that the Thomas who married a woman called Thomasina (with whom he was commemorated in Willesborough church), was a different man. In fact, Thomasina was the shire-knight’s widow: she was acting as his executrix by Easter term 1434, and still living in the early 1460s: CP40/693, rots. 191d, 402; C1/28/490.
