SMGP Notes;
The Rattray's were kin of the Freeman's/Langton's. Indeed the Manor of Whilton devolved to the Rev Langton Freeman (qv) who in turn left it to his nephew Thomas Freeman of Daventry, who's daughter inherited it and married Charles Rattray MD, his widow sold the Manor of Whilton.

We already knew that the Freeman's were relatives.
