13th century. Prior to the statute _Quia Emptores_, 18 Edw I (1290).
=Charter= (Lat) confirming a grant from William de Mertone to Henry son
of Roger Palmer, of one toft in the town of Mertone and two acres of his
land; that toft and those acres which Roger his son formerly held of him
to the end of all things; to wit, the said Roger the said land either
held or retained, for homage and services; to have and to hold to him and
his heirs or assigns, from him (the grantor) or his heirs, freely quietly
and entirely, with all liberties and easements, so much land in the town
of Mertone, with the appurtenances; paying thenceforth annually himself
or his heirs or assigns to him (the grantor) and his heirs, one pound of
cummin at the feast of saint Michael the archangel, for all services
exactions and demands; and he William and his heirs, the said land, with
the appurtenances, to the said Henry and his heirs or assigns, against
all men and women, did warrant for ever. =Witnesses=: Richard de
Thorintone, Adam de Pultone, James de Poltone (_sic_), Henry de
Karletone, Roger son of John de (?)aynol, Emery (_Aumaricus_) de
Lekamtone and others. =Vellum=: one skin 6½ × 3, portion of a green
seal, obscure. =Notes=: the form of the deed necessitates a date prior to
18 Edw I; and it is only by the names of the persons mentioned in the
charter that the approximate date can be fixed. Mertone is an early form
of Marton or Markeaton, two miles north-west of Derby, Richard le Palmer
was a witness to a lease of a house in Markton (Markeaton) temp Edw I,
see Jeayes “Derbyshire Charters”, number 1651, page 205. The words “about
1275” are written on the back of the charter, in a hand of later date.

=Genealogy deduced.=
