Main Events
| Name | Raffe Bostock was also known as Raffe Bostocke of Moulton. |
| Occupation | Raffe Bostock was the seneschal steward for the Vale Royal estates during the first part of the 14th Century, a period of some unrest during which the peasants had some issues with the Abbot. |
| Note | |
| Reference Number | He had reference number 6766. |
| Birth | He was born about 1345.1 |
| Residence | About 1350 Raffe Bostock lived in Moulton.2,1 |
| ARMS | He; 1361; 35 E 3 (Edward III came to throne in February 1327 and this is the 35th year of his reign); in the Visitation of Cheshire 1580. This is the start of the Bostock of Moulton line. He may also be the founder of the Whixall ( Salop ) Bostock line. Rafe was I think the younger son of Sir William Bostock [6762]. This branch of the family bore Arms, Sable, a fess humette Argent, a mullet for difference. I would have expected him to be the 3rd son - unless the mullet had been added in a previous generation for another 3rd son. Another version of this pedigree has Ralph Bostock of Moulton being the son of Sir Adam Bostock ( 1275-1350 ) and his wife Jane Brereton [6761]. I am unsure as to which version to prefer. Earwaker also describes Alice Bostock [7175] who married William de Bulkelegh [7176] as the daughter of Sir Ralph Bostock of Bostock [6766], knight.3 |
| Occurs | He; 1361; 35 Edw 3 (1372) according to the Bostock of Moulton pedigree in the Visitation of Cheshire of 1580 |
