Preview:In the March, 2012 (v. 20, no. 1) issue of the Sussex Family Historian I wrote a piece concerning the ancestors of the FOWLE family who's senior branch were to become the first residents of Riverhall. My topic had to do particularly with the father of William FOWLE, a prominent resident of Rotherfield whose son had built Riverhall in 1599. William was one of the wealthiest residents of Rotherfield, holding both copyhold and freehold rights to significant lands throughout Rotherfield Hundred at his death in 1566. William of Rotherfield is first referenced in 1524 in the important position of Church Warden for St. Deny's. Pullein reports that he had married Margaret GODIVE (most likely GODINE, the sole heir of Richard GODINE). The marriage is speculated to have taken place c1520. These events suggest that William was born c1497.
