Notes:

Brian Walls, whose ancestry I am following, in his post of this line to SGM, admitted that he did not have good sources for the line, which was "given by others." Brian is the source for Margaret's 2nd marriage to a Walter Devereux.

Walter married Margaret (Margery) De BRAOSE after 1288 in 2ND Husband. Margaret (daughter of Richard De BRAOSE, Of Stinton, Sir and Alice Le RUS, Heiress Of Stinton) was born in 1260 in Stainton Manor, Norfolk, England; died on 12 May 1335 in Castle Bytham, Stanford, Lincolnshire, England.

Notes:

Note: This generation is not in Burke's Peerage's pedigree for Devereux. It does explain the long time frame between generations in BP. It probably also explains why BP names the next older generation Walter instead of William.
