Dear Newsgroup ~
Complete Peerage 1 (1910): 325-326 (sub Aton) includes an account of
Sir William de Aton, Knt., Lord Aton, of West Ayton (in Hutton Buscel), Yorkshire. On page 325, footnote c, it is noted that he gave testimony in the Scrope-Grosvenor controversy in 1386. On page 325, it is further stated that he died sometime before March 1388/9, he having predeceased his son-in-law, Edward de Saint John, Knt., who died 7th March in that year. The latter statement is confirmed by the inquisition port mortem of Sir Edward de Saint John published in Cal. IPM 16 (1974): 296-297.
There is a another account of Sir William de Aton, Knt., Lord Aton, published in Nicolas, Controversy between Scrope & Grosvenor 2 (1832): 347-350. This biography may be viewed at the following weblink:
http://books.google.com/books?id=uioJAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA347
Nicolas doesn't provide an exact death date for Sir William de Aton either. He merely states that he "died before July 1389, when partition was made of his lands among his coheirs."
Another biographical account of Sir William de Aton is found in Putnam, Yorkshire Sessions of the Peace, 1361-1364 (1939): xxxix. The author states that William de Aton died in 1387, but doesnn't appear to give a source for this statement. She further states that "William de Aton served frequently as justice of labourers, and of the peace, but always in the North Riding, until on 22 May 1360, he was appointed ... on a commision of the peace which ... applied to the whole shire ... [in 1361] Aton received his first appointment in the East Riding, renewed in 1362. In the late 'sixties he acted often as justice of oyer and terminer, of array, of sewers, mainly in the East Riding." END OF QUOTE.

There is a lengthy pedigree of the Aton family in Tate, History of Alnwick 1 (1866): 406-410 (Aton ped.), which may be viewed at the following weblink:

Regarding the death date of Sir William de Aton, Knt., Tate says only that he died before July 1389.
Reviewing available contemporary records, I find that in 1384 Sir William de Aton, Knt., son and heir of Sir Gilbert de Aton, Knt. assigned Thomas de Swynton and another to deliver seisin of all his lands and tenements in How and Wytom near Malton, Yorkshire to Sir Thomas de Graffton and another, chaplains. Reference: Turner, Cal. Charters & Rolls: Bodleian Lib. (1878): 60, which is available at the following weblink:

There is lawsuit of William de Aton dated 1385-1387 published in Year Books of Richard II 4 (Ames Foundation 7) (1987): 156-158. A snippet view of this lawsuit may be viewed at the following weblink:
http://books.google.com/books?ei=Rrz_UtmdIsaIygHR3IDICQ&id=HasvAAAAIAAJ&dq=william+aton+1387&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%22William+de+Aton%22
The lawsuit indicates that John Avyssoun and four others were attached to answer William de Aton, knight, concerning a plea why they in the company of John de Ovington with force and arms depastured, trampled, and destroyed with certain animals the crops and grass of the said William de Aton of £20 value, lately growing at Snainton in Pickeringlith, Yorkshire.
An exact date of the above lawsuit and a reference to the original lawsuit is published in the published Year Books, but the snippet view of the lawsuit doesn't show this information.
On 6 July 1387 the king ordered an inquisition be taken before a justice between the king and William de Aton, Knt., William Playce, Knt., and Cuthbert Capoun regarding four messuages and lands in Norton by Malton, Yorkshire, and one messuage and lands in Thirsk, Yorkshire. Reference: Calendar of Close Rolls, 1385-1389 (1921): 338, which may be viewed at the following weblink:
http://www.archive.org/stream/calendarofclo03grea#page/n3/mode/2up
Given the above records, we can be certain that Sir William de Aton died sometime between 6 July 1387 and 7 March 1388/9.
My file notes indicate that Sir William de Aton died 10 Feb. 1388 [probably 1387/8 intended], and was buried at Old Malton Priory, Yorkshire. I believe the source for this date is Yorkshire Archaeological Journal 12 (1893): 251, 263-266, which source I haven't double checked for this post.
Complete Peerage makes no indication whether or not Sir William de Aton died testate. I've found, however, that in 1393-4 the king sued the executors and tenants of William de Aton regarding the manor of Malton, Yorkshire. Reference: National Archives, C 44/18/6, available at the following weblink:
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/Details?uri=C848277
Sir William de Aton, Lord Aton was predeceased by his son and heir apparent, Sir William de Aton, Knt., who died without issue before 25 Nov. 1381. The younger William was survived by a widow, Margaret, who was living in 1384 (date of her seal). References: National Archives, CP 25/1/278/142, #3 [see abstract of fine at http:// www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/index.html; Archaeologia Aeliana 3rd Ser. 20 (1923): 94-95.
At his death, the elder Sir William de Aton was survived by his three daughters and coheirs, namely Anastasia (wife of Edward de Saint John, Knt.), Katherine (wife of Ralph Eure/Ever, Knt.), and Elizabeth (wife of William Playce, Knt., and John de Conyers, Knt.).
For interest's sake, the following is the list of the 17th Century New World immigrants that descend from Sir William de Aton, Knt., Lord Aton, and his wife, Isabel de Percy:
William Asfordby, William Bladen, George & Nehemiah Blakiston, Joseph Bolles, Edward Carleton, Henry Corbin, Anne, Elizabeth & John Mansfield, Anne Mauleverer, Philip & Thomas Nelson, Ellen Newton, George Reade, Diana & Grey Skipwith.

YAJ 12 has a deed concerning Sir William on page 251, and pages 263-166
relate a dispute involving Sir William over armorial bearings, but
neither gives his date of death.
https://archive.org/stream/yorkshirearchae11socigoog#page/n278/mode/2up
Burton's 'Hemingbrough' gives his death as 1389 (page 359) but does not
provide a source or more details.

Interesting. This gives the following William Aton ancestors. How do you feel about the correctness of this pedigree?

Dear Newsgroup ~
In a previous post in this thread, I noted that Sir William de Aton, Lord Aton (died 1388) left three daughters and co-heirs, the eldest of which was Anastasia de Aton, wife of Sir Edward de Saint John, Knt. (died 1389), of Londesborough, Yorkshire.
Complete Peerage 1 (1910): 325-326 (sub Aton) states the following regarding Anastasia de Aton:
"Anastasia left an only daughter and heiress, Margaret, who married Sir Thomas Bromflete. Their son, Henry, was summoned to Parliament 24 Jan. 1448/9, by writ directed Henrico Bromflete militi baroni de Vessy. See 'Vescy,' Barony, 1449." END OF QUOTE
On page 326, it is further noted that Anastasia and her two sisters "made partition of their inheritance, 22 July 1389."
Hence, we can be certain that Anastasia de Aton was living as late as 22 July 1389.
Elsewhere Complete Peerage 12(2) (1959): 285 (sub Vescy) mentions Anastasia de Aton in passing. It merely notes that she was "1st daughter and coheiress of William (de Aton), Lord Aton."
The A2A Catalogue includes the record of the assignment and delivery of Anastasia's dower following her husband's death in 1389. The assignment of dower was made 10 June 1389 by Anastasia's son-in-law, Thomas Bromflete (or Brounflete), who is styled lord of Londesborough, Yorkshire. A copy of that record is given below.

Beyond these meager details, there appears to be no further mention of Anastasia de Aton in published sources beyond the year 1389.
Recently, however, I located a lawsuit dated 1398, which proves Anastasia was living in that year. Specifically, in that year, Alice [sic] widow of Edward Seynt Johan knight, Thomas Brouneflete, William Wateresfeld chaplain, and Robert Lovell, acting as executors of the will of Edward Saint Johan knight sued Thomas atte Rede in the Court of Common Pleas regarding a debt of £39.

13. ANASTASIA DE ATON, daughter and co-heiress. She married EDWARD DE SAINT JOHN, Knt., of Londesborough, Weighton, and Weaverthorpe, Yorkshire, Haresfield, Gloucestershire, Chirton, Wiltshire, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Barlby (in Hemingborough), Brompton, Hutton Buscel, Malton (in Old Malton), Norton by Malton, Welham (in Norton by Malton), West Ayton (in Hutton Buscel), and Wintringham, Yorkshire, son and heir of Edward de Saint John, Knt., of Litchfield and Sherborne St. John, Hampshire, and, in right of his wife, of Empshott, Hampshire, Barlavington, Coates, East Hampnett (in Boxgrove), Verdley (in Fernhurst), and Lurgashall, Sussex, etc., by Eve, daughter and heiress of John Dautry (or de Hauterive) [see PAULET 7.ii for his ancestry]. They had one daughter, Margaret. In 1361 he settled the manor of Chirton, Wiltshire on his brother, Richard de Saint John, and his wife, Margaret, and their heirs. He was a legatee in the 1368 will of Thomas de Percy, Bishop of Norwich. He presented to the church of Ewhurst, Hampshire in 1372. SIR EDWARD DE SAINT JOHN died 7 March 1388/9. His widow, Anastasia, was assigned dower 10 June 1389. In 1398 Alice [sic] widow of Edward Seynt Johan knight, Thomas Brouneflete, William Wateresfeld chaplain, and Robert Lovell, acting as executors of the will of Edward Saint Johan knight, sued Thomas atte Rede in the Court of Common Pleas regarding a debt of £39.

Dear Newsgroup ~
Complete Peerage 12(2) (1959): 285-288 (sub Vescy) has a good account of Sir Henry Bromflete (or Brounflete), Knt., Lord Vescy (died 16 Jan. 1468/9), who was summoned to Parliament in 1449.
Regarding Sir Henry Bromflete's parentage, the following information is given:
"Henry Bromflete, or Brounflete, of Londesborough, Malton, Brompton, etc., co. York, and Wymington, Beds, only surviving son and heir of Sir Thomas Bromflete, of the same, by Margaret, only daughter and heir of Sir Edward St. John and Anastasia, 1st daughter and coheiress of William (de Aton), Lord Aton ..." END OF QUOTE.
It is known that Sir Henry Bromflete, Lord Vescy, had an older brother, Thomas Bromflete, Knt., usually styled the younger, who predeceased their father sometime before Hilary 1427 [see Surtees Hist. & Antiqs. of the County Palatine of Durham (1908): 207; C.P. 5 (1926): 280-281 (sub Fauconberge); Court of Common Pleas, CP40/664, rot. 25f (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT1/H6/CP40no664/aCP40no664fronts/IMG_0025.htm)].
Elsewhere the A2A Catalogue includes the abstract of a document dated 1413 which proves that the elder Sir Thomas Bromnflete had yet another son, Edward Bromflete. A copy of that record is given below.

He married (1st) before 20 Feb. 1412/3 (date of gift) KATHERINE KYNGESMAN, daughter of William Kyngesman, of Wollaston, Northamptonshire, by Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of John Sturmy. In 1419 he and his wife, Katherine, and Ralph Langport sued Joan Willoughby in the Court of Common Pleas regarding four messuages and lands in Cossall, Nottinghamshire. He married (2nd) before 1424 (date of fine) JOAN RALEIGH, widow of Gerard Braybrooke (died 15 April 1422), and daughter of Thomas Raleigh, Esq., of Farnborough, Warwickshire, Edgeworth and Turkdean, Gloucestershire, Osborne (in Whippingham) and Walpen (in Chale), Hampshire, Claydon, Oxfordshire, etc., by Joan [see GREY 11], daughter and heiress of William Astley, Knt., 4th Lord Astley. His wife, Joan, was heiress in 1419 to her brother, William Raleigh. In 1424 he and his wife, Joan, sold the manor of Osborne (in Whippingham), Hampshire to John Garston and John Rookley. In 1426-7 he settled on himself and his wife, Joan, in tail male 2/3 of the manor of Farnborough and the reversion of the other third, then held by Joan's mother. In 1442 he was exempted for life from being made sheriff, escheator, coroner, etc. He presented to the church of West Buckland, Devon in 1449. His wife, Joan, died before 7 Feb. 1448/9. In 1450 [sic] William Mountford, Knt., sued Edward Brounflet, Esq., of Farnborough, Warwickshire and his wife, Joan, regarding a debt of £40. In 1450 he made an agreement with his wife's cousin, William Raleigh, that Edward should retain the manors of Charles, West Buckland, and West Hagginton (in Ilfracombe), Devon, Edgeworth and [two parts of] Lassington, Gloucestershire, Claydon and Laundfee (in Claydon), Oxfordshire, and Farnborough, Warwickshire for life, after which they should revert to the said William.

A problem I'm having is:

The William de Aton who married Isabel Percy died 1386, age 87 (born only about 10 years later, in 1299). Obviously this doesn't seem like enough years between the two generations.
The visitation of Yorkshire says that William de Aton had a brother Gilbert who "dyed younge", but the pedigree in "History of the borough, castle, and barony of Alwick" shows Gilbert, brother of William de Aton fighting the Scots & marrying. It also omits entirely the generation between William who married Isabel de Vere and the William who married Isabel Percy. It does seem offhand that thie Gilbert is more likely a brother than a father of William based on the dates?
Can anyone shed light on these generations?

As I understand it the Gilbert father of William married to Isabel de Percy died in 1342.
The inquisition you cite might have been a younger brother of his.

Dear Joe ~
Sir William de Aton, Lord Aton [died 1388] was definitely the son and heir of Sir Gilbert de Aton, of West Ayton (in Hutton Buscel), Barlby (in Hemingborough), Brompton (in Pickeringlith), Hutton Buscel, Langton, Malton (in Old Malton), Welham (in Norton by Malton), and Wintringham, Yorkshire [died 1350].
Among the many pieces of evidence which prove the relationship, Sir William de Aton is specifically styled "son and heir of Sir Gilbert de Aton, kt." in a charter dated 1384 published in Turner, Calendar of Charters & Rolls: Bodleian Library (1878): 620. This charter may be viewed at the following weblink:

There is a contemporary record which gives the exact date of death of Sir William de Aton, which I have just noticed.
At an inquisition taken at Holme in Rydale, Wednesday after Easter, 11 Richard II [1 April 1388], it was found that "William de Aton, knight, entered the said manor with its parcels while John the earl was a minor in the wardship of Edward III, and received the issues all his life, by what title the jurors know not, and died in seisin on Tuesday after St. Laurence, 11 Richard II [13 August 1387]. Katherine wife of Ralph de Evere, knight, Anastasia wife of Edward Seint John, knight, and Elizabeth wife of John Conier, knight, are daughters and heirs of the said William de Aton, and each of them is over 23 years of age."
Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem, vol. 16, 7-15 Richard II (1974), 4, No. 6.

Sir William de Aton died on 13 August 1387.

Dear John ~
Thank you for posting the exact death date for Sir William de Aton, Lord Aton. It's much appreciated.
In an earlier post, I identified a certain Alice, widow of Sir Edward de Saint John, as possibly being the same person as Anastasia de Aton, widow of Sir Edward de Saint John. Anastasia de Aton was one of the daughters of Sir William de Aton, Lord Aton, whose death date you posted.
Since my earlier post, I've located no less than three additional Common Pleas lawsuits which involve Alice, widow of Sir Edward de Saint John. As such, it is clear now that there were two contemporary men named Sir Edward de Saint John, both of whom died about the same time, one who left a widow, Anastasia, and one who left a widow, Alice.
All the same, there must have been a close relationship between the two Sir Edward de Saint John's. Thomas Bromflete who is a known son-in-law of Sir Edward de Saint John (husband of Anastasia de Aton) served as one of the executors of the other Sir Edward de Saint John (husband of Alice). This is not likely to have been a coincidence.
