Note: The People Involved

The names in the document provide the best clues for locating the land:

1. Rauffe Leche [Ralph Leche]: He was a prominent figure in the Peak District and North Derbyshire during the reign of Henry VIII. He served as a Justice of the Peace and was closely associated with Chatsworth [before the Cavendishes]. His involvement strongly suggests the land was in the Scarsdale Hundred [which includes Chesterfield and Ashover].

2. The Hoggekynsons [Hodgkinson]: This family was heavily established in Ashover. In fact, the Hodgkinson family eventually became the owners of The Overton Hall estate in Ashover, which sits adjacent to lands historically called "The Lowe."

Notes: We have a Margaret born about 1489, likely in Ashover, Derbyshire, where we first learned of her in her mother's will. There aren't many Richards in this line, but she does have an uncle Richard 1488 - >1558, almost her same age, who lived in Derbyshire. This Richard sounds likely. Margaret was the daughter of Thomas 1460 -1539, who was the brother of Richard. Thus she might have an interest in property of her father, which Richard might have interest in as well.
