Roger de Soterley, their son and heir, held these estates by the same tenure and purchased of Sir Ralph Bigod, Knight, 11 shillings 6 pence per annum rent, with the rent of 1',500 herrings in Gislingham and Soterle. He had two sons: 1. Walter, and 2, Edward who was the father of John de Soterle who claimed one messuage and 30 acres in Soterley in 1434; but this was clearly an usurpation as he was of the younger branch. In the Court Books will be found this entry in 1434, in Latin: "Johannes de Soterley aravit quandam divisionem inter ter ad prejudicium Dui". In 1459 we find his only child is Katherine, as wife of John Lisk of Badingham.
