  • Marriage*: Peter Goffe married Elizabeth Pepper, daughter of Nicholas Pepper and Isabel Sherwin, circa 1680 at England.
  • Marriage*: Peter Goffe married Ann (?) circa 1696 at England.
  • Death: Peter Goffe died in 1713 at Eastbourne, Sussex, EnglandB.
  • Burial*: Peter Goffe was buried on 21 June 1713 at St Mary's, Eastbourne, Sussex, EnglandB.1
  • Anecdote*: Goffs Malthouse in Eastbourne, assigned to Nicholas Gilbert IV by the mortgagee in possession
    Date: 1777
    Repository: East Sussex Record Office
    ESRO reference: GIL 1/9
    Description: 1 Malthouse with a garden plot at or near Upperton Stream to the west and north, in Eastbourne (203 on GIL/3/17/1)
    2 Toft, garden plot and piece of land adjoining the malthouse and the road from Eastbourne Town to Upperton House
    Richard Goff, mariner, died in 1718 holding premises 1 above, a parcel of freehold land at Wormy (2 acres), a piece of land (1 acres) held of the manor of Eastbourne Gildredge in Eastbourne and a messuage, barn and land (16 acres) in Jevington, held of the manor of Jevington; all the property had been held by his mother Elizabeth, the only daughter and heiress of Nicholas Pepper of Eastbourne, yeoman (1).
    Premises 2 above had been conveyed to Goff's brother-in-law Gregory Latter in 1716 and passed at his death to his son John, an infant aged 10 (2).
    On Richard Goff's death 1 above passed to his wife Frances but her estate was challenged by Goff's only sister Jane, the wife of Gregory Latter, tailor.

On her death in 1750 the property, now called Goffs Malthouse (abutting the highway west and north and a narrow lane leading into Hartfield on the east) passed by her will (in which she describes herself as widow and innkeeper) to her son John, with remainder to his son John (8).
    In 1761 John Townsett the elder of Eastbourne, maltster and John Townsett the younger of Eastbourne, farmer, mortgaged the property for 60 to Mary Gilbert (1733-1811) of Eastbourne, spinster (10). She entered into possession and took the profits, and assigned the mortgage to her brother Nicholas Gilbert in 1777 (11).

    Date: 1777

    ESRO reference: GIL 1/9
    Description: 1 Malthouse with a garden plot at or near Upperton Stream to the west and north, in Eastbourne (203 on GIL/3/17/1)
    2 Toft, garden plot and piece of land adjoining the malthouse and the road from Eastbourne Town to Upperton House
    Richard Goff, mariner, died in 1718 holding premises 1 above, a parcel of freehold land at Wormy (2 acres), a piece of land (1 acres) held of the manor of Eastbourne Gildredge in Eastbourne and a messuage, barn and land (16 acres) in Jevington, held of the manor of Jevington; all the property had been held by his mother Elizabeth, the only daughter and heiress of Nicholas Pepper of Eastbourne, yeoman (1).
    Premises 2 above had been conveyed to Goff's brother-in-law Gregory Latter in 1716 and passed at his death to his son John, an infant aged 10 (2).
    On Richard Goff's death 1 above passed to his wife Frances but her estate was challenged by Goff's only sister Jane, the wife of Gregory Latter, tailor. In 1723 an agreement was drawn up whereby Frances was to have premises 1 and Jane the 2 acres at Wormy. Premises 1 were therefore conveyed by Jane Latter to Frances Goff immediately but it was agreed that premises 2 should be conveyed to her when John reached 21 (1-2).
    In 1736 therefore, John Latter, now a farmer of Eastbourne, conveyed the property to Samuel Williams of London, carpenter, the only son and devisee of Frances Goffe, who had made her will at Bermondsey in 1724 (3-5). Williams, of St Mildred Bread Street, sold both properties to Jane Townsett of Eastbourne, widow, in 1736 (6-7). On her death in 1750 the property, now called Goffs Malthouse (abutting the highway west and north and a narrow lane leading into Hartfield on the east) passed by her will (in which she describes herself as widow and innkeeper) to her son John, with remainder to his son John (8).
    In 1761 John Townsett the elder of Eastbourne, maltster and John Townsett the younger of Eastbourne, farmer, mortgaged the property for 60 to Mary Gilbert (1733-1811) of Eastbourne, spinster (10). She entered into possession and took the profits, and assigned the mortgage to her brother Nicholas Gilbert in 1777 (11).
