William Sotheron, born about 1440, is the earliest member of this family at Holme, cty York, from whom a direct line can be traced; and for a continuous period of nearly three centuries they seem to have been the wealthiest family of the parish, except the Constables and later the Langdales, who were the lords and proprietors of the manor.  During the 15, 16, & 17th centuries the Sotherons were substantial yeomen, farming extensive estates which they held by leases from the manor of Holme; and as early as 1585 they began to be also freehold owners of lands there which they acquire by purchase. The will of William dated 2 Apr 1509, is in Latin and may be found in the Prerogative and Exchequer of York Wills, Vol 8, fol l0.  In it he mentions his son Robert, who represented the line of Jane Sotheron in the second generation.  His wife's maiden name is unknown.  She survived him.
