III. No 10.), that this manor was then in the Mocking family. Elmingus Legett, father (perhaps) of Elmingus who died in 1412, is frequently mentioned in a mutilated record of the inquisition taken after the death of John de Mocking in 1347. It is probable, therefore, that the Legetts were connected with the Mockings by marriage. 58 Leger-book of Tottenham Manors. 59 Esch. 8 Hen. V. No 3. An inquisition taken anno 1427, at which time Thomas Legett, son and heir of Elmingus, was 23 years of age, describes the manor of Mockings as containing 100 acres of arable, valued at 3d. an acre; 30 of meadow, at 2s.; and 40s. rents of assize. It was then held of John Gedeney (whose property it afterwards was) by a quitrent of 33s. and suit of court. Esch. 5 Hen. VI.
