     Edward Latter was baptized on 15 January 1636/37 at Frant, Sussex, England, name written as "Edward."¹ He was the son of John Latter and Joan Austen.

     John Latter was baptized on 30 September 1632 at Frant, Sussex, England.¹ He was the son of John Latter and Joan Austen.

     Edmund Latter was born circa 1550 at England.
It is not known where Edmund Latter was born or where he eventually died. His marriage and the baptisms for his children have not been found. His son Edmund Latter moved to Tonbridge later in his life and died there in 1656. In his will he mentions a brother Richard. There is a John Latter (c1575-1662) who had a large family in Rotherfield who could be another son of Edmund.
Edmund lived in Rotherfield and there is a record of his involvement in property transactions in the manorial records.
1. The Dewlands manor court rolls include and entry in 1589 for the purchase by Edmond Latter of a property of 8 acres called Saders in Rotherfield for £20.16 "Cond. Surr, £20.16 in porch of R. Church").
The property was surrendered (ie probably sold) on 29 Dec 1591 to the use of John Turner. The property was described as 3 pieces of land and wood. It is located south of Rotherfield and appears to be reasonably close to the Drapers property held by the Barber family as it is mentioned as abutting the land of Thomas Ersfeld, which is shown on the 1597 map as across the road to the Drapers property owned by George Barber.¹
2. Catherine Pullein's book states that Thomas Catt surrendered a messuage (house) and five acres called Salters to Edmund Latter and his heirs in September 1595. She says that the position of the property was such that it lay on either side of the Station Road at Packham's Hill, each portion containing a narrow strip of land. At the time Pullein wrote her book (1928) there was only one house on each portion, and she believed the older house (ie Salters) was the one on the south side of the road. She speculated that the property owes its name to a vendor of salt, William Le Selterre, who is mentioned in tax records in 1296. The Salters property was to remain in the Latter family for 100 years (1595-1695), the last owner being John Latter (1654 - c1700).²
Edmund Latter gave the property called Salters to his son Edmund upon his marriage to the widow Agnes Alchorne (nee A'Downe) in 1602. The manorial records record the transfer:
1602
At this court it is found that Edmund Latter out of court since last court Nov 4^th, 45 Eliz [1602] surrendered 1 messuage, 1 barn with garden & 2 pieces or parcels of land containing 4 acres lying at Town Rowe with appurtenances except 1 garden called le forge garden To use of said Edmund Latter his son & Agnes Alchorne widow & the heirs of said Edmund his son But his admission is postponed till next court. And nothing falls for heriot because he remains tenant
Note: Edmund LATTER and Agnes ALCHORNE, widow, married 7 Dec 1602 at Rotherfield.
1603
At this court comes Edmund Latter & Agnes now his wife & pray out of the lord’s hand a messuage, a barn, a garden & 2 parcels of land containing 4 acres lying at Town Rowe with appurtenances in Rotherfield except a garden called Forge garden which formerly came into the lord’s hand by the surrender of Edmund Latter father of the son Edmund to the use of the said Edmund the son & Agnes To which said Edmund Latter the son & Agnes his wife the lord at this court grants seisin by the rod etc. And they give the lord for fine £6[?] etc.
Note: This entry is difficult to date from Pullein’s transcription but must be after Edmund Latter’s marriage to Agnes Alchorne on 7 Dec 1602 and the entry is after a View of Frankpledge court held 7^th May 1603.³
Edmund Latter died after 1605 at England.

     Richard Latter was born circa 1580 at England. He was the son of Edmund Latter.
