• Notes

  Sampson Eardswicke says this Adam married one of the daughters and heir s o f J o h n C averswall and had the manor of Bishop's Offley as a result. A t t h a t t i me, his father Adam gave him Horsley to better his standing fo r t h i s a d vantageous marriage. Another source says it was that marriage t o J o a n d e E yerton, heiress to the de Cresswalls which was the advantage ou s m a t c h. This marked the return of the family to Staffordshire. He wa s S h e r r iff of Staffordshire and Shropshire in 1341. He had a manor and f l o c k s o f sheep at Himley near Eccleshall. He was killed by enemies Jan. 8 , 1 3 4 6 . T hey justified the murder by claiming falsely that he had been o u t l a w ed and that his property was forfeit to the King.The widow had to f i g h t t h e King's claim in court. This battle continued for many years.
