Hi Rick,
I look forward to your trip, sounds like great fun again.
The big score is likely, of course, to be the records of RW Eyton.As you know, he stops his account of this family at John and Humphrey Eyton in 1394.However, he implies he knows more about the more recent generations.This is likely given it is his own line and surname.
#8 is the other one that caught my attention.These suits for recovery had to have evidence produced as to why it belongs to him, so this Fulk Eyton would have to go into his own family history to explain the descent of these lands.Malinslee was a manor purchased by the Eytons in the 14th century (IIRC) and Haughton may refer to Horton (see VCH vol. 11).Definitely one to check.
