• Dates & Events. 82,503
William Nye, son of Randolf, married Agnes, dauther of Ralph Tregian of Ballancé-Hornéd, County Hertford. William studied for the ministry and became Rector of the Parish Church of Ballancé-Hornéd before his father's death. [26 Henrey VIII 1534 also History of Hertfordshire Vol. 1 p.274].
In 2 Edward VI, 1548-49, we read that he claimed the land which his father who had evidently died the year before, had "given unto him" in Uckfield "to have and to hold to them and to the heirs male then the said premises to be given to the Parish Church." [Town Depositions Chancery 3 Edward VI].
As there are not other references to William Nye, except a mention of his name in 1556, when his son Ralph was served heir to his father, it must be inferred that he led a quiet and uneventful life.
~A Genealogy of the Nye Family, p. 21
William married Agnáes Tregian, daughter of Ralph Tregian and Unknown. (Agnáes Tregian was born in Ballance-Horned, County Hertford, England.)
