  Notes	To explore the possible connection between "William of Tuddenham" and Minters in nearby Westerfield and Witnesham, see http://theminters.co.uk/johnspages/Notes%20on%20Westerfield%20etc.pdf. William Minter, gent, of Tuddenham, with property in Tuddenham, Suffolk, appears in the 1727 Poll Book of Suffolk. The Poll was taken at Ipswich on 30 August 1727, with William voting for Sir William Barker, Bart & Sir Jermyn Davers, Bart. Source Ancestry.com, UK, Poll Books and Electoral Registers, 1538-1893, August 2013. William's parents may have been William and Elizabeth or Mary. The Tuddenham St Martin Parish Register transcription includes the following burials which have not been accounted for: Mrs Elizabeth Minter was buried 12 September 1729. William Minter was buried 7 July 1738. William Minter was buried 20 August 1751. Mary Minter buried 25 November 1764 (this burial may relate to William's daughter Mary, baptised in 1761. But if it did, William must have had another daughter Mary, the one mentioned in his Will of 1787). William's Will was made on 5 March 1787 (and proved on 23 August 1788). In it, William mentions his two daughters Sarah and Mary (in that order) and his wife Sarah. From http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924092579568/cu31924092579568_djvu.txt ('The Manors of Suffolk', 1905, within a section relating to Tuddenham Manor): William Minter, junior, the settlor, made his will dated 5th March, 1787, and died 1st Aug. 1788, leaving his widow Sarah and two daughters, Sarah and Mary, to whom he devised all his lands. The daughter Sarah married William Tong, only child of William Tong, of Westerfield, clerk, and by settlement effected by lease and release dated 7th and 8th Oct. 1789, Sarah's moiety of the manor was vested in Francis Brooke and Mileson Edgar, as trustees, the same being limited to the use of William Tong and Sarah, and their issue. William Tong made his will 5th March, 1794, and must have died the same year, for it was proved 12th Nov. following. He left his widow Sarah surviving and two daughters, Isabella and Susannah. Isabella married one Wratislaw, and died 21st Feb. 1812, aged 20, apparently leaving issue. Susannah, her sister, married Michael Turner. Mary Minter, who was possessed of the other moiety of the manor, by her will dated 24th Dec. 1830 devised the same to her niece, Susannah Turner, and died 30th Jan. 1831. Susannah died intestate. In 1837 the manor was vested in Major Michael Turner, the husband of Susannah, and in John Minter Tong Wratislaw, probably a son of Isabella Wratislaw. In 1855 it was held by the former and J. Wratislaw. Major Michael Turner died in 1865, when his interest in the manor passed to his eldest son, the Rev. Michael Turner, rector of Cotton. He married Mary Anne, daughter of the Rev. Philip Carlyon, and on his death his interest in the manor passed to the Rev. Michael Turner, M.A., of Cotton rectory. The Wratislaw and Turner interests have been since acquired by, and the manor is now vested in Mrs. Holt Wilson, of Redgrave Hall.
