Earwaker,
CCCXXVI. Following Fr. West's abstract, he has transcribed " Cotton"
in error for Tatton. The chief house of the Standishes in Coppull was The Holt,
(see Standish Deed No.215). It was held in dower by a Standish widow married to
William Tatton. For Mary Tatton and
the other parties in the deed, see History of
Standish, pages 137-139. “ Mosse-molle “ Molle or mull generally means dust
or pieces. The word is related to “mould.” Here it seems to signify the peat
already dug out in distinction to that which is still in the moss rooms or
places. Walkden in his Diary, 9th July, 1729, says, “ I
sodded the turf stack top, and dressed the mull from beside it”.
