  	Role: Witness The first property John Ashby purchased was from Mrs Elizabeth Fisher of Northampton, widow in 1616. Mrs Fisher was a daughter of William Peasenoll of Bugbrooke one of an old family of yeomen of that name still living in the village. William Peasenoll made his will in 1580, and thereby devised his freehold lands and house to his wife Phillippe for life with remainder after her death to his daughter Elizabeth the wife of Robert Fisher of Northampton intail. The interest thus given to Mrs Fisher was certainly not one which she could legally sell, but in 1616 by a deed of feoffment dated 1st June in that year she sold the property to John Ashby and Richard Ashby for ?105. The property is described as follows in the conveyance ? All that messuage tenement one close and half yardland in arable meadow and pasture land with their and every of their right &c situate lying and being in Bugbrooke aforesaid now in the tenure of the said Elizabeth her assignee or assignes, farmers or tenants. ?105 at that time would be equal to about ?1000 at the present. The Richard Ashby who joined John Ashby in the purchase was not his brother but his second cousin, a son of Steven Ashby, the son of William Ashby's eldest son Robert. From the will of this Richard Ashby and an inquisition taken after his death, it seems that ?i?he and John Ashby each took half the yardland and that they held the house jointly. Richard Ashby directs his wife to sell his house called "Fisher's House lately purchased of Elizabeth Fisher of Northampton" and devises a "house called Newmans a quartern of land called Fisher's land" and other property to his youngest son Richard. ?/i?This will was proved in 1617. The inquisition taken at Northampton in 1619 states that Richard Ashby was seized at the time of his death of and in a moiety of one messuage and one close and of and in one quarterne of a yardland at Bugbrooke called "Fisher's land". After reciting his will and mentioning several other properties the inquisition goes on to say that the moiety of Fisher's house and land were held of Richard Cope Esquire as of his Manor of Bugbrooke by fealty and suit of court, and by the rent of 16d per annum in lieu of all other services. John Ashby's moiety would of course have been held in the same way. He retained the deed of conveyance and it is now amongst Morris Ashby's old documents. Fishers land is frequently mentioned in the subsequent deeds but not the house and probably John Ashby concurred with Richard Ashby's executrix in selling it.
