| From Archaeologia Cambrensis W. Pickering, 1868 - Wales “Contributions toward a cartulary of Margam” Page 38 - 39 https://books.google.com/books?id=2KJJAQAAMAAJ&lpg=PA38&ots=8aaH0SXFyW&dq=ELIZABETH%20DE%20FURNEAUX&pg=PA38#v=onepage&q&f=true Alice de Humfranville married, 12 Ed. II, Sir Simon, son and heir of Matthew de Furneaux of Stringston. He died 24 Ed. III, leaving issue by her one child, Elizabeth. Elizabeth de Furneaux, heiress of Furneaux and Humfranville, married, says Collinson [iii, 213], during her father's lifetime, Sir John Blount, who died before 1362. Lady Blount survived her husband, and 8 R. II, founded a chantrey in Athelney Abbey for the good estate of William Aungier ? and Henry Rodham, and also of herself Elizabeth, of Lady Alice Stafford, Lady Maud Stafford, Robert Wrench, and all other friends and benefactors of the said Elizabeth. Also for the souls of Sir John Blount, Sir Simon de Furneaux and Alice his wife, Sir Henry de Humfranville and Isabel his wife, Sir Wm. Blount and Maud his wife, the Lady Julian Talbot, Lady Elizabeth Cornwall, Sir Brian Cornwall her son, Sir Richard Stafford and Sir Richard Stafford the younger his son, Robert Flito and Robert Stockton, and for the souls of all her departed friends. [Coll. I, 262.] Among the St. John evidence [Lansdown M.S. 860a. fol. 348] is a charter by which “Elizabeth le Blount, wife of the Lord John le Blount, Kt., in her widowhood, grants to John Purvill, perpetual vicar of Lankarvan, and to John Tokiker, son of William Tokiker, all the pasture between my wood in the castle of Penmark, and the brook there, etc. Dated 13 May, 36 Ed. III.” Sir John [Blount] and Lady Elizabeth [Ferneaux] had one daughter, Alice le Blount, heiress of the Humfranville and Furneaux estates. She married first Sir Richard Stafford, who was dead 8 R. II, and afterwards Sir Richard Storey, who survived. She died childless, 1414-5. [Inq. p.m., 2 H. IV, No. 27.] Upon Lady Storey's death the Furneaux estates seem to have gone to the descendants of the sisters of her grandfather, Sir Simon, but the descent of those of Humfranville, and the manner in which they eventually reached St. John is not so clear. .... | ||
