    On page 392 of his second volume of History of Somerset (1791), John
    Collinson wrote:

    In the time of King Stephen, Jordan de Marisco, or of the Marsh,
    probably so titled from the spot of his nativity in this neighborhood,
    was lord of a manor in Huntspill, and had a son named Willam, who
    inherited the same.

    The cited source for this information is rCLCart. Antiq.rCY I understand
    this to reference an old charter rather than the Cartae Antiquae Rolls,
    as both Pipe Roll Society volumes of the Cartae Antique Rolls have no reference to Jordan de Marisco.

    Does anyone have a source for the charter Collinson referenced?

    I have reviewed the Eric St. John Brooks articles on The Family of
    Marisco (1931-1932) and found no source there.
