Family and Education
?s. of John Singleton of Great Chart. Feudal Aids, vi. 473. m. by Jan. 1429, CCR, 1429-35, p. 32. Agnes (d. 21 Oct. 1479), ?da. or gdda. and event. h. of John Stokes of Stoke Goldington by Eleanor (d. aft. 1431), da. and event. h. of Sir Robert Luton† of Hartwell, 1da. The Commons 1386-1421, ii. 296; iii. 280-1, 654-5; VCH Bucks. ii. 298. According to VCH Bucks. ii. 296 (relying on the findings of a 16th-cent. heraldic visitation to Bucks.), Agnes was the da. of Eleanor Luton by her last husband, Thomas Stokes, but this is impossible, since Eleanor married Stokes in, or just before 1431, that is after Agnes married Singleton. It is not unlikely that Agnes was in fact the gdda. of Eleanor, whose first husband, John Stokes, died before 1398, by which date she was married to her second, John Bosenho†, who died in the mid or late 1420s. Dist. 1458.
