undeniable fact remains however. The Rev. Griffith gave to the County Museum in the Hatfield Road, St. Albans, the old branding iron of the Thrale family from whence it passed into the possession of Richard Thrale of St. Albans. And the form of the iron is that of a broad arrow! Apparently the mark was used by the family for centuries, its use having to be abandoned with the advent of the Napoleonic Wars and the adoption of the broad arrow as the official government mark. The truth will probably never be known.
As already told, the first Ralph Thrale of the Wheathampstead Court Rolls died in 1683, and like his father, nothing is known. The same Court Roll then records the death of his son Ralph in 1705 with admission of his sole son and heir Ralph. From the first Ralph onwards, it is always eight acres which were passed on from father to son. Ralph Thrale in dying on 1705 left a full will.11 His son William received High Croft in St. Michaels, Wall Close in St. Peters, and £500. His daughter Abigail Prentice is also mentioned, and also his brother Thomas Thrale who was made executor and who was to hold Crouch Farm and found the family providing the South African emigrants. An inventory was taken of his estate in 1705, which runs thus:
'An Inventory taken the 1st day of June in the yeare of our Lord God 1705 of the goods and Chattells of Ralph Thrale late of the parish of Saundridge deceased valued and apraised by us whose names are under written as followeth:
