Witness to this will were "Henry Berham, John Berham, John Hampton, Richard Selewyn and John Westburn & aliis" The suppositition of RG Fitzgerald-Uniacke "If it were possible to identify the Henry and John Berham who witnessed ths will the perplexing problem of the relationship existing between the various branches of the family of this period would be nearer solution. My own theory is that Henry is of Sissinghurst (Kent) and the husband of Elizabeth Colepeper and John Berham, Arminger whose name heads the pedigree of "Berham of Berham" in the 1574 Visition. The arms assigned to Berham of Berham (Kent) are differenced with a crescent which usually denotes descent from a second son. Or perhaps John is the son of Richard of Wadhurst (subject) who was admitted by John Westburn the Seneschal to lands in the Pelham manor of Bivelham in 1480. The name of John Berham, Arminger occurs in 2 other Pelham chartes 8 Oct 1491 and 10 Dec 1499 as one of the feoffees of William Pelham 2nd son and heir of Sir John of Laughton. 1461 SAC pg125 - On 11 Dec 1461 William Bartlet Thomas Norman and Richard Berham did fealty for lands called Mauncers and Brookes in Wadhurst. 1464 SAC pg125 - At court 18 Sep 1464 Richard Berham and Anne his wife surrender a house with the appurtenances late William Comden's sotiate om the woste of Comden into the lord's hands who by his Seneschal John Westburn granted the same to the said Richard and Anne to hold to them their heirs ans assigns. 1470 Bivelham Court Rolls - SAC pg125 - on several occasions between 1453 and 1470 Richard Berham appears among the "Essoins" or those tenants who send excuses for non-appearance at the Manorial Court. When absent Richard was usually represented by his father-in-law John Busse 1472 SAC pg125 - At a court 9 May 1472 "John Busse had closed his last day who held lands called Snorehyll (Which had been surrendered to his use by Thomas Berham in 1446) also that Anne the wife of Richard Berham and dau of the said John was his next heir and of full age. 1473 SAC pg 125 - At the next court Joan wife of John Busse surrendered other lands in Comden wiste call Hedyng, Smythfeld, and Llytil Comden to the use of Richard Berham and Anne his wife..
