   1 Why called Lord Jestyn I do not understand.  Elizabeth, dau' of Sir Thomas Oldcastle
married Walter Hacluit of Eyton in Herefordshire, and had issue Richard, Thomas, a daughter
married to Edward Cornewall, a daughter married to Richard ap Harry of Poston (Visitation
of Hereford, by Cooke, 1569.  Edited by Weaver, 1886).

   3 In Bacton, Herefordshire.
   4 She was the third wife of John Abrahall of Abrahall.
   5 This is incorrect: the Lady Weobley (Agnes, dau. of Thomas Crophull) was wife of
Sir Walter Devereux. Their son Walter married Anne, only child and heir of William, lord
Ferrers, and was summoned to Parliament 1 Edw. IV. as lord Ferrers.  William Herbert,
1st earl of Pembroke of the second creation, married Anne, sister of Walter, lord Ferrers.
   6 Michel, the equivalent of much or great; i.e., Sir Rees the elder.
   7 Trwyn dwn, fractured nose.
