This is probably filled with errors, but I can’t bring myself to just toss it out completely. It is background material that I dug up while searching for the father of Grace Baskerville who married Edmund Gee around 1415 or earlier. Neither the Baskervilles of Eardisley, nor Sir Thomas Beaumont are the correct lines.
IN SEARCH OF THOMAS BASKERVILLE
The Baskerville family is a very old Norman family in England. Eardisley in Herefordshire was their earliest home. Ralph de Baskerville married Sibyl, heiress of Adam de Port and held a knights fee in 1165 of Adam de Port, in Eardisley. His son, Sir Robert Baskerville, married Agnes, daughter of Nesta, daughter of Rhys ap Gryfudd, Prince of South Wales. Their sons were Ralph, Walter died post 1168, Robert, died post 1173, and Richard, died 1177. Their Sir Ralph de Baskerville married a daughter of Drogo, Lord Clifford in 1154. He held his lands from the reign of Henry I through inheritance and upon his murder in 1194 in Northamptonshire, his son Roger succeeded to Eardisley, in Herfordshire and
>>> his son Thomas succeeded him at Pickthorn, the Shropshire estate. <<<
In 1200, Thomas, not yet of age, challenged Roger Fitz William … for that wickedly, and in the King peace, and in felony, and in murder, he slew Ralph de Baskerville his father in his house, and this the said Thomas saw, as he said, being a boy under age, and this he offers to prove against Roger with his body. Another son, Walter married first Emma de St. Leger, who died in 1196, then the widow, Iseult Pantulf. Emma was the mother of Walter Baskerville who was born about 1194 and died around 1243. Another son of Ralph and the lady Clifford was Ralph who died in 1186. In Warwickshire is Stretton-Baskerville, which obtained its name from William d Baskerville who held three fees of Robert, Earl Ferrers honor of Tutbury. In 1208, the last Baskerville to hold Stretton was Walter, grandson of William.
By the 13th century Baskerville families lived in Herefordshire along the border with Wales, Northamptonshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Norfolk, Buckinghamshire, and Wiltshire.
Baskervilles of Eardisley, Herefordshire
Sir Roger de Baskerville, of Eardisley, married Joan daughter of Sir Rothes Le Gros, Lord Orcop and was the father of Walter de Baskerville, who married Elizabeth Pembrugge daughter of Sir Richard Pemburgge. Walter was born about 1189 and died in 1243. Their son, Walter married Susannah daughter of Sir John Crigdon. His brother was Richard Baskerville, father of Adreas, Thomas and Richard.
Walter, who died before 1260, and Susannah were the parents of Robert, Sir Walter, who inherited, Richard and possibly George and Robert. Sir Walter Baskerville married Sibilla Streaton after 1280 and died before 1290.
Richard’s son Walter who married Sibilla, sister of Pet Corbet de Caux, succeeded his uncle. Their son, Richard Baskerville of Eardisley married Joanna Poyntz, daughter of Nicholas. Their son Richard married Isabella and they were the parents of Richard who died in 1395.
It is Richard de Baskerville who died in 1395, son of Richard and Isabella who inherited the Eardisley estates. Richard married Joanna, daughter of Adam de Everingham de Laxton. Their son John Baskerville was born in 1390, and married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of John Brugge de Letton. John died in 1415. John and Elizabeth were the parents of John and Ralph. Their son John was born February 12, 1408, at Combe, Northants who died December 23, 1455. He married Elizabeth daughter of Isabell and John Touchet, Lord Audley. His brother, Radulphus , was born in 1410 and married Ann daughter of John Blackett.
John as a young man, served with King Henry at Agincourt. John and Elizabeth were the parents of Sible, James, Thomas, John, Henry, and Humphrey. These children were born between 1430 and 1445. James Baskerville, of Eardisley, Knight of the Bath at the coronation of Henry VII, married Sibilla, sister of Walter Devereux. In 1454 James Baskerville was involved in controlling the Welsh. At the battle of Towton, in 1461, this family was well represented. Among the Yorkists were James Baskerville, esquire, and Thomas Baskerville, esquire, supporting the Yorkist cause of Edward IV. In 1471, the Battle of Tewksbury included Sir James Baskerville and Sir Thomas Baskerville on the Yorkist side. James Baskerville, after the battle of Stoke, near Newark in 1487, was made Knight Banneret on the field and Knight of the Bath at the coronation of Henry VII. Sir James Baskerville, born in 1430, married Sibilla Devereux, were the parents of Walter, Phillip, James, Henry, Edmund, Thomas and Ralph as well as several daughters. This family resided at Eardisley, Herefordshire. Their son Thomas married Alice Milbourne, widow of Henry Parry. They were married after 1523.
Sir James Baskerville had two grandsons named Thomas, but both were far too young to be the father of Grace. One resided in Goodrest, Warwickshire and the other was Thomas of Netherwood, Herefordshire. A great grandson was Thomas of Pontrilas.
Thomas Baskerville, second son of John and Elizabeth Baskerville was born in 1432 in Herfordshire. He is likely the Sir Thomas Baskerville noted with Sir James Baskeville at Towton and Tewksbury.

Thomas, was Lord of both Vills. The Stottesden Jurors spoke of Northwood nearly as follows:- "Walter de Baskerville, son of Roger de Baskerville , is Lord . Therein are six virgates of land; and he should hold them of the King in capite. He does suit to the Hundred twice a year at the Sheriff's Tourn, but not to the lesser Hundred-Courts, because his Ancestors never did . It pays 2d. for stretward and 4d. for motfee . Philip de Girros holds half a virgate of land for doing suit to the lesser Hundred-Court for the said vill". [156] Sibil Giffard's Custody of Walter de Baskerville's lands has been set forth already in another place. [157] Philip de Girros, the Under-Tenant named by the Stettesden Jurors, was himself of their number. He may possibly be identical with that Philip, son of Philip de Girros, whom we have spoken of as interested in Burwarton twenty-nine years earlier. [157]

At this time however the principal Tenant of young Walter de Baskerville at Northwood was
>>> Hugh de Baskerville <<<: he was, I think, Son of Isolda or Hisota, Sister of that Thomas de Baskerville of Pickthorn who died in 1241. He bore therefore his Mother's name; but whereas we shall see that both his Sisters, Juliana and Helewise, occasionally bore the name of Botterell, I think that Isolda's husband and
>>> Hugh's <<< Father was a Botterell. We have heard of this
>>> Hugh de Baskerville <<< under various circumstances and dates, ranging from 1241 to 1292, [158] for I doubt not that the same person is indicated throughout. I now proceed to offer the documents which bear upon his tenancy in Northwood. About 1240, as I presume, "Thomas de Baskerville grants to
>>> Hugh de Baskervill <<< and Marjory his wife that virgate in Northwood which Hisota, sister of the Grantor, held". [159] The only Witness given for this Deed is Sir Roger de Baskerville, whom I presume to have been son and heir expectant of the Grantor, and, if I rightly fix the relations of the parties concerned, first Cousin of the Grantee. By another Deed, which I cannot venture to date, Juliana Botterell grants to her Brother,

Northwode which their Mother Ysolda de Baskerville held. At the Assizes of January, 1256, I find that
>>> Hugh de Baskerville <<< was in misericordia for non-prosecution of a suit which he had against Ralph d'Arraz for erection of a stank which injured

[160] Also at the same Assizes Helewise de Baskerville and Juliana her Sister were in misericordia for not prosecuting a suit of mort d'ancestre against Hugh Peche concerning a virgate of land in Northwud. [161] By Patent, dated at Shrewsbury, August 24, 1267, King Henry III grants that
<<< Hugh de Baskerville <<< shall not, for the rest of his life or against his will, be put on any Assize, Jury, etc. [162] On May 4, 1271, Helewyse Boterel sued out a writ of mort d'ancestre against

About this time Emma fitz Paen of Northwood grants to

The Grantees had given said Emma 16s. for this in her urgent necessity, and for sustenance of herself and daughter Matilda, who assented to the sale.- Witnesses: Adam de Bold, Thomas de Berdeleg, William de Pilarditon, Stephen de Bold, Thomas de Northgrave, William de Bardeleg, John de Drayton, Adam Sauvage, Hamo Gamel of Stottesden.

>>> Hugh de Baskerville's <<< non-attendance at the Assizes of 1292 has been mentioned under Pickthorn. His great age, and the King's Patent twenty-five years before, will equally account for his Default. And within a year he died, though Margery, for fifty years his wife, survived him; for in 21 Edw. I Margery, Widow of
