Richard Beltoft was born about 1520, and lived with his uncle John f rom
1525 on. In a lawsuit Richard lost property his uncle John had tried to
bequeath to him, but received a settlement of six [6] pounds when he was
abo ut thirty one [31] years old. He was buried on December 02, 1599, and
it was surmised he was landless, because of no mention of land in his
"will". It is possible he had already given his land to his youngest son
Josias, a few year s before his death. Richard had lived with his Uncle
John at "Nidelles" since early boyhood, [about 1525] so we can assume
that his Father Laurence had al ready died.
