| In 1512 he [William Saunders] left all his property in Wadhurst and Ticehurst to John Courthope of Hartfield, who had married his daughter and was also his co-heir in blood. That devise led to protracted litigation, only ended when in 1539 John Courthope granted Whiligh, Burgess land, and Moseham to his younger son George, the elder brother John receiving other land, and releasing by a deed of 1541 all his rights and interests in the above named lands. Since that Whiligh has passed from father to son in that same line, every ,successor a George Courthope. | |||||
