  Land & Property	12 Sep 1720	Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire, England
  	Purchased of 16 acres of land
  	in 1720 he appears as the purchaser of sixteen acres of land in Bugbrooke. The mode of conveyance adopted was one in which two documents were necessary, a lease for a year and a release. I have not found the last of these two documents and consequently have not ascertained what purchase money Robert Ashby paid. The lease for a year however is amongst Morris Ashby's old deeds. It is dated 12th September 1720 and is made between Robert Mobbs of Bugbrooke Shoemaker and Henry Billingham of Bugbrooke Butcher of the one part and Robert Ashby of the other part. The following is a description of the property contained in the deed: "All that one yardland of arable ley meadow and pasture ground lying and being disposed on the ~~~ and common fields of Bugbrooke aforesaid lately conveyed to the said Robert Mobbs and Henry Billingham and to the heirs and assigns of the said Robert Mobbs (amongst other lands) by Nicholas Peake of Towcester in the said County Gentleman and Hatton Atkins of Kingsthorpe in the said County Gentleman which said yardland was lately in the possession of Abraham Clarke and is now in the tenure of the said Richard Mobbs or Richard Ashby or one of them." This property did not go to form part of the old Family Estate as by his will Robert Ashby left it to one of his younger sons Robert Ashby of Shillingford the ancestor of the present Ashby's of Staines.
