Alice; wid. of William Weston† (d.c.1419) of West Clandon, Surr.; The biography of William Weston in The Commons 1386-1421, iv. 816-18, failed to mention his 2nd wife, Agnes Clipsham, but it is clear from her post mortem (C139/68/13), that the manor of Clapham was settled on her and William in jointure, with remainder to their issue. At her death the heir to Clapham was therefore their son Robert Weston (b.c.1412). The latter was the half-bro. of John Weston I* and William Weston I*. (2) Elizabeth; prob. s.p.
