First Generation
1.
The Lathams had been in Nortampton for more than a generation. James Latham preceded Thomas as underkeeper of Moulton Park from about 1485 until about 1518. In 1541, Richard Andrews filed a suit against Thomas' two sons and kinsman, Wylde Latham.
A Thomas Latham of Brigstock appeared as a tenant in the manor court rolls
of Berkwell, Warwickshire from 1593 - 1620. He was the Thomas Latham the Elder, who appeared on the Brigstock manor court rolls, born about 1532/3. Thomas the Elder arrived in Brigstock by 1586. Thomas left his estate to wife Isabel in his 1623 will. On 3 October 1593, Alice Steane conveyed a messuage in Berkswell called Raves Green House. Thomas conveyed a cottage and close called Lydiates Croft to his son Simon Latham alias Pye on that date. Thomas and Simon appeared in Berkswell records off and on until 27 April 1620.
The 1551 will of Richard Latham named his wife, Alice, but none of his children. Thomas might have been the son of Richard. Another Thomas Latham resided at Ashley, Northamptonshire and died there in 1581/2. It is not known how, or if, he was related to Thomas of Kingsthorpe.
In his will dated 11 September 1558 and proved Novenber 1588, Latham named his children, Rowland, Oliver, John, Elizabeth, and Thomas, as well as other relatives. Wife Elizabeth and sons, Rowland and Oliver were named executors. After Rowland and Oliver were named "the next of the Latham blood forever." This included John Latham; daughter Elizabeth Dickinson; Edward Chatton and Helen Chatton; Peter Dickinson; Mary Story; sister Joan Tynes and her children; son Thomas Latham; grandson Thomas Latham, younger son of Thomas; Matthew Story; kinsman Sir William Roote; John Layoe of Northampton; Thomas Dickinson and Bridget Bickinson.
The relationship to the Chattons, Storys, Roote and Layoe is not specified. Presumably the Dickinsons are related to daughter Elizabeth.
