Notes for Sir William Echingham
m. (1) Alice Batisford, (2) Joan Arundel (or FitzAlan).

William and Alice had a daughter Elizabeth who m. (1) Sir Thomas Hoo (with a s. Thomas who dsp.1486) and (2) Sir Thomas Lewknor.  However the evidence for this is, as yet, somewhat shaky.

On 19 Aug 2005, Charlotte Smith wrote this on the Soc.genealogy.medieval newsgroup:

“Inquisition at Winchelsea  2 Henry V (1415)
“John Rykhill, as in his right of Joan his wife and Elizabeth her sister, daughters of William, Lord Echyngham, Knight and of Joan his wife have land which descended to them by hereditary right on the death of Joan their mother and held of the king in chief by fee-farm ete etc

“Most records have Joan Echyngham, daughter of William Echyngham married to William Rykhill.   A Kent will for William Rykhill dated 1406 and he mentions his wife Rose and she leaves a will also and mentions sons William and John.  I would suspect that John the son is the husband.    Also most records has Joan and Elizabeth as daughters of Alice Batisford lst wife of William Echyngham and Joan Fitzalan his second.    This Elizabeth Echyngham goes on to marry Thomas Hoo who died 1420

“Need to straighten out the Rykhill connection as well as mother of these girls.  Any comments appreciated.”

I think this is good enough for me to add in these people, knowing her usual research care.
