The exact time of the death of Sir Nicholas does not appear; he is foundas a witness to a deed in 1330, and must have died soon after, as in 1336his eldest son, Nicholas Barenton, was in possession of the estates. Hemarried Emma, daughter of Sir Robert Baard, by whom he had four sons,John, Humphrey, Thomas, and Phillip. The youngest son, Phillip, marriedJoan, daughter of John Pykot, of Hatfield, by whom he had three children,Richard, John and Alice; this appears by a deed in which all three arenamed, dated in the 20th year of King Edward the Third, settling a houseand lands on them. This estate was situated at Colewell, or CollierStreet in Hatfield, and on it Phillip and his descendants resided. Fourgenerations of them are named in deeds now in existence. First, Philliphimself is described as Phillip Barenton of Colewell. Secondly, Richard,son of Phillip Barenton of Colewell; he had a wife whose name was Joan.Thirdly, John, son of Richard barenton of Colewell. And Fourthly [sic],John, son of John, son of Richard Barenton of Colewell. This John, in adeed dated 1397, quit-claimed a pasture called Halimere to John son ofSir John Barrinton, and in it styles himself as above. In another deed,dated 1423, he is called "John Barynton" "Yeoman," to distinguish himselffrom John Barynton, the then owner of Barrington Hall, called in the samedeed Esquire. In a deed dated Jany. 1st, 1433, John Petigrew, JohnSchrubb the glover and John Baron the carpenter, release to William Casseand others, all the lands and tenements they held in common fee with"John Barynton, Yeoman" now deceased. He appears to have been the last ofthis branch of the family as there is no further trace of them.
