    Notes:

    I think that John has too many wives. The only one that I have a good source for is Katherine Payne, who CP says is the 3rd wife; but there are 3 others that look like they preceded her. Maybe one was a mistake, or was a mistress?

    John married Katherine PAYNE before 1431 in Of Devonshire, England. Katherine was born about 1407 in Paynshay, Devonshire, England; died in 1473. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    1. 12.  John De STOURTON, Of Preston, Sir Knight was born after 1361 in Stourton With Gasper, Mere, Wiltshire, England; died in 1405 in Preston Plucknett, Yeovil, Somerset, England.

      Notes:

      I have sources for John de Stourton (as father of Esther/Edith, no parentage indicated), who I assume to be this John, who CP [vol XII/1:300 note (h)] indicates is "of Preston Plucknett", being the younger son of John of Stourton. I think that there were many John de Stourtons, which makes it confusing as to how many there were in a row, and who was married to which wife. His marriages to Jane Basset and Catherine Beaumont are taken from World Connect/LDS sources. His son John is sourced as "of Preston Plucknett" and father of Alice. There is no source connecting John with his son John, except that it is pretty obvious because both are of Preston Plucknett.

      The elder son William (of John & Lettice) held Stourton with a descendancy that goes into the 1960's, while this John, his younger brother, was ancestor of the Stourtons of Preston, which his father John acquired in 1380 (source - CP).

      John married Jane BASSET in 1st Wife. Jane (daughter of Ralph 1St Baron BASSET, Of Sapcote, Sir and Alice De DRIBY) was born about 1368 in Glastonbury, Wells, Somerset, England; died before 1394. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


    2. 13.  Jane BASSET was born about 1368 in Glastonbury, Wells, Somerset, England (daughter of Ralph 1St Baron BASSET, Of Sapcote, Sir and Alice De DRIBY); died before 1394.

      Notes:

      Many people have Jane as daughter of Ralph of Drayton by Joan de Beauchamp, but he dvp, as indicated by his will (source: CP - see Ralph 3rd Baron Basset, of Drayton's entry in my files). Also indicated by his heirs is that Ralph had only one sister (Isabel, who may have been a full or half sister); so Jane is also not a daughter of the prior generation (Ralph of Drayton & Alice Audley).

      I see by the soc.genealogy.medieval that at least one person (Sid Telford) has Jane as daughter of Ralph Basset of Sapcote by Alice Driby. The dates would support such a pedigree; although the Complete Peerage mentions no daughter named Jane for Ralph of Sapcote, who died without male heir, but I find it easier to conceive of "missing" a daughter when one has at least two, than to "miss" a daughter when indications are that you had no heirs/children.

      I have found no written source for Jane, although I find a hint that "Magna Charta Barons" and "Burke's Extinct Peerage" might have indicated Jane was daughter of Ralph of Drayton & Joan de Beauchamp (which may be the source of the numerous people who have the pedigree that way). One of the hints is from Dave Utzinger, which has "MCB" as the source for Jane being daughter of Ralph & Joan. Dave sent an e-mail to soc.genalogy.medieval in 1998 indicating Jane was daughter of Ralph & Joan, however he has since removed Jane from that relationship.

      Of course Jane could be an illegitimate child; but I will place her as daughter of Ralph of Sapcote until more information arises.

      Most people give Jane a birth year of 1378, with a son John b. 1384 (mother at the age of 6!). Some have 1368, which seems reasonable. Also her son John might have been born later than 1384.
