inherited the Playce family estates on the death of Sir William PLAYCE s.p. [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 1/11/2004-162010]

The following Chancery suit involves the heirs of Sir William Playce, of Gristhorpe and Lebberston, Yorkshire, son and heir of William de Playce, Knt. (died 1371), by his wife, Elizabeth de Aton.
The three plaintiffs in this suit were grand-daughters and co-heirs of Margaret Sewerby, wife of Geoffrey Picot. Yorkshire Arch. Journal, 17 (1903): 57 indicates that Margaret was daughter of William Sewerby, Esq., of Sewerby, Yorkshire. Margaret Sewerby was a near kinswoman to Sir William Playce through her Playce ancestry, but not descended from him. As best I can determine Margaret Sewerby is the person who inherited the Playce family estates on the death of Sir William Playce without issue.
C 1/546/39 James Metcalf, esquire, and Margaret, his wife, Giles [Hussey]
and Jane, his wife, and James Strangways, esquire, and Elizabeth, his wife. v. Richard Nevill, Lord Latimer.: Detention of deeds relating to the manors of Gristhorpe, Lebberston, Molthorp, H[und]manby, Newton Morrell, Lopsollz, Scarthhouse, and Conderston in Baldersdall, late of Geoffrey Pycott and Margaret, his wife, grandparents of the female complainants. 1518-1529 [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 1/11/2004-162010]
