1. John Malet, afterwards knighted.

George Malet received a license, 42 Elizabeth, A.D. 1600, to alienate lands in East Pennard, Ditcheat, and Wotton, Somerset, to William Malet and Edward White, gents.
As Thomas Malet's will,*** in which he enumerates many of his manors, was proved in 1580-1, he could not have been more than thirty years of age at his death.
