- Excerpt from "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family", by Arthur Malet, published 1885, p 34-35, appendix K:
JOHN MALET OF ENMORE AND DEANDON.
John, the son of Baldwin Malet and his wife Hawise the daughter of Sir Simon Ralegh, married, in fulfilment of his father Baldwin's engagement, Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir John de Kingston, Knight. As this covenant was made in 1338, and his father was born in 1284, Baldwin was fifty-four years old at the time. I have no information of the date when John Malet succeeded his father, but as we have a deed* in which he confirms to his brother Baldwin land granted to him by their mother which is dated 1346, it must have been between 1338 and that year. There is in Sir A.M.'s MSS., vol. i, sup. 2, p.22, an entry stating that Sir John Malet had George, son and heir of Robert Lovel, in ward, 21 Edward III, A.D. 1348. There are no later dates than this. By his wife Elizabeth he left a son and heir, Baldwin Malet.
