Early Documents BEFORE entering upon the correspondence of the Paston family, in the reign of Henry vi., we have thought it well to give the reader a brief note of such deeds and charters of an earlier date as appear either to have been preserved in the family, or to have any bearing on its history. The following is a list of those we have been able to meet with either in the originals or in other quarters, such as Blomefield s History of Norfolk, where notices are given of several documents, which appear now to have got into unknown hands. The documents seen by Blomefield, and those from the Paston and Dawson-T urner collections, now in the British Museum, were probably all at one time part of the Paston family muniments. The three Harleian charters seem to have been derived from a different source. AD eed is cited by Blomefield (H ist. Norf. vi. 480), by which A nselm, Abbot of St. Benet s, Hulme, and the Convent there, gave to Osbern, the priest (said by Blomefield to have been a son of Griffin de Thwait, the founder of the Paston family), the land of St. Benet sof Paston (terram Sancti Benedtcti de Paston), in fee, for half the farm of one caruca, as his ancestors used to pay for the same. Also a Deed of William the Abbot (who lived in King Stephen sreign), granting to Richer de Pastun, son of Osbern, son of Griffin de Thwete, all the land that the Convent held in Pastun, with their men, and other pertinencies. Also a Deed of Covenant between Richer de Paston and Reginald the A bbot, and Convent of St. Benet s, Holme, that when peace should be settled in England, and pleas held in the Court of our Lord the King, the said Richer would, at the request and at the expense of the A bbot, give him every security in Court to release the lands in Pastun. Ralph de Paston was son, as I take it (says Blomefield) of this Richer, and appears to have had two sons, Ric (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
