SECTION 1.

 

*11. ADAM DE PESHALE, son of Adam de Peshale, Chapter 16, Section 1; married Joan de Eyton, daughter of John de Eyton of the Wildmoors, co. Salop and relict of Sir Henry de Cresswell of Creswell and Bishops Offley, Staff. Chapter 17, Section 2. Children:

1.         *10 SIR RICHARD DE PESHALE, Chapter 18, Section 1.

2.    Sir Hamo de Peshall, Chapter 18, Section 5.

3.    Sir Adam de Peshall, Chapter 18, Section 3.

4.    John de Peshall, Chapter 18, Section 6.

5.    Isabella de Peshall, married Thomas Gech of Newport, and second Sir Robert Franceys, knt. This Thomas Gech de Newport, who married Isabel, sister of Sir Adam de Peshale, was lord of High Ercall and direct ancestor of the Newport, afterwards Earl of Bradford; his widow Isabel was afterwards married to Sir Robert Francyes, knight. [Staff. Hist. Col. vol. 2, page 115.]

6.    Catherine de Peshall, married Robert Costliffe. They had a daughter Christine who married John Mowlesley. John Mowlesley married Christine, daughter and heir of Robert Costliffe and Catharine his wife, sister of Sir Adam de Peshall. They had the Mosley of Bilston. [Ibid., vol. 5, part 2, page 218 & vol. 1, page 353.]

The dis¬tinguished author of the History of the Manor and Parish of Blymhill says it was not the daughter and heir of John de Caverswall by whom Adam de Peshale obtained Bishop's Offley. This manor was acquired by his marriage with Joan, the daughter of John de Eyton and relict of Sir Henry de Creswalle or Kerswell (which is an altogether different family from Caverswall, though it has often been confounded with it), which Henry had held it of John de Eyton, of Eyton on the Wyldmore, by military service, Wyldmoor being part of the Pantulf's Barony of Wemme. On the death of Sir Henry de Cresswalls, John de Eyton took the manor into his own hands to hold till the lawful age of Joan and Eliza¬beth the daughters and heirs of Sir Henry, and held it until Adam de Peshale
