Of which Sir Roger and Bona issued
Sir John de Northwode. The said Roger died the 9th
day of November, in the year of our Lord 1286, and
the fifteenth 5 year of the reign of Edward, son of the
aforesaid King, and he and the said Bona are buried
before the altar of the parish church of Menstre, in
Shepeye. And the said Sir John succeeded him as son
and heir, and did homage and relief to the said Lord
Edward, late King of England, for his lands coming
to him by inheritance after the death of the said Sir
Roger, as appears among the Records of the Exchequer,
in Easter Term, the eighteenth year of the foresaid
Lord Edward. Which Sir John married the Lady Joan
de Badlesmere, lady of, the manors of Horton near
Canterbury, and Beausfelde near Dover in the county
of Kent; she possessed also certain tenements in Southwerke,
in the county of Surrey, and rents in the city
of London. Of which Sir John and Joan issued Sir
John, the eldest son, James, Thomas, Richard, Simon, <<<<
and Humphrey.

And, by
the office taken at Sydyngborne, on the Friday and year
aforesaid, after the death of the said Joan, it was found
that she died seized in her demesne as of fee, in the said
manors of Horton and Beauesfeld, with their pertinencies;
and also that the said Roger, then twelve years old, son
of Sir John, the elder son of the said Joan, was heir to
the foresaid manors with their pertinencies, and so those
manors only were the inheritance of the said Joan.
And, forasmuch as the manots of the said late Sir John,
grandfather of the said Roger, were held of the Lord the
King in capite; by reason of the minority of the said
Roger, the said Lord the King Edward, son of King Edward,
seised all the manors, lands, and tenements pertain·
ing to the said Roger the heir into his own hands, and so
they remained till the 20th day of June in the thirteenth
year of his reign, on which day, by his letters patent
he committed the custody of the foresaid lands and tenements,
together with the marriage 13 of the said heir,
to Sir Bartholomew de Badlesmere, Knight, to hold till
the legal age of the said heir; who sold that marriage
to the Lady Idonia de Leybourne, late wife of Sir Geoffrey
de Say the elder ; which Sir Geoffrey begat of the
fotesaid Idonia, Sir Geoffrey de Say, Sir Rogex de Say,
Juliana de Say, and Isabella de Say, as I have been told
by many; among them, by John Wantynge, who was the
Esquire and Secretary of the said Sir Geoffrey the son,
and knew them all personally.

John Northwood , who became the first Baron Northwood, was an English landowner, soldier and administrator from Kent.[1][2]
Origins
Born on 24 June 1254, he was the son and heir of Roger Northwood,[1] who died on 9 November 1285, and his first wife Bona Waltham.[2]
Career
In 1278 he had a position in the household of Robert Kilwardby, Archbishop of Canterbury and,[2] after succeeding his father in 1285, was chosen as High Sheriff of Kent in 1291, sitting also on the commission of oyer and terminer for the county. Further tenures as sheriff followed in 1299 and 1304,[1] the third being accepted reluctantly. Summoned by King Edward I to an urgent assembly of notables in 1294, he was excused joining the military expedition to Aquitaine.[2] However he was summoned to the war in Flanders in 1297 but may not have attended in person, being an assessor of tax for Sussex that year. From 1298 to 1319 he was regularly summoned to the war in Scotland, serving in person or sending deputies, and combined these duties with a wide range of administrative posts in his native Kent.[1]
After being knighted by the King at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300, he and his wife were invited in 1308 to the coronation of the new King Edward II.[2] In 1313 he was summoned to Parliament as a baron, which can be taken as the creation of a hereditary peerage, and was continuously summoned for the rest of his life. In 1317 he and his eldest son were deputed to escort two cardinals from Dover to London, on a mission from the Vatican to help negotiate a peace between England and Scotland, and in 1318 he was referred to as one of the country's “major barons”.[1]
He died on 26 May 1319 and is commemorated by a brass in the church of Minster-in-Sheppey His arms, recorded on the Parliamentary roll, were: ermine, a cross engrailed gules. His eldest son having died before him, his lands and title were inherited by his grandson Roger.[1]
Family
About 1275 he married Joan Badlesmere, daughter of Sir Guncelin Badlesmere, and they had six sons. She died on 2 June 1319, a week after her husband, and is also commemorated by a brass at Minster-in-Sheppey.[1]
> Their eldest son was John Northwood, who in 1306 married Agnes Grandison , daughter of William Grandison, 1st Baron Grandison, but died before his father in 1318. His eldest son was Roger Northwood, 2nd Baron Northwood, and another son was the cleric and academic John Northwood.[1] <<<<

NORTHWOOD or NORTHWODE, JOHN de, Baron Northwood , son of Roger de Northwood [q. v.], was born on 24 June 1254 . He succeeded his father in November 1285. In 1291–2 he was employed on a commission of oyer and terminer in Kent ; and in 1292 and 1293 he was sheriff of that county, as also in 1300, 1305, and 1306 . On 1 June 1294 he was summoned to attend at Portsmouth on 1 Sept. for the French war, and in 1297 for service in Flanders; on 30 July 1297 he was an assessor of the fifth in Sussex, and in 1298 was summoned for the Scottish war. On 24 Dec. 1307 and on 17 March 1308 he was appointed a conservator of the peace for Kent; in December of the same year he was justice for gaol delivery in Kent, where during this and the two following years he was a commissioner for the survey of bridges . On 18 Dec. 1309 he was nominated a justice to receive complaints of prises, and on 20 May 1311 a supervisor of array for that county. About the last-mentioned date he is spoken of as lately employed to inquire concerning forestallments in Kent, and in March 1312 was one of the justices appointed to settle the complaints of the Flemings . Northwood was summoned to serve in Scotland in 1309, 1311, 1314, 1315, and 1318. In August 1315 he had orders to stay in the north till 1 Nov., and then to join the king at York . He was first summoned to parliament on 18 March 1313, and specifically as a baron on 23 May of the same year. After this he was regularly summoned down to 22 May 1319. On 8 June 1318 he is styled one of the ‘majores barones.’ In June 1317 Northwood and his son John were two of those deputed to receive the two cardinals coming to treat for peace between England and Scotland . Northwood died on 26 May 1319, and his wife a week later . By his wife Joanna, sister of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, he had six sons. Two fine brasses in Minster Church, Sheppey, probably represent Northwood and his wife, though they have also been identified with his father or with his son John and their wives; these brasses are engraved in Stothard's ‘Sepulchral Effigies,’ and in ‘Archæologia Cantiana,’ vol. ix.
> John de Northwood , eldest son of the above, married in 1306 Agnes , daughter of William de Grandison; by her he had six sons, of whom two, John and Otho, were successively archdeacons of Exeter and Totnes from 1329 to 1360, during the episcopate of their uncle John de Grandison [q. v.]; William, a third, was a knight hospitaller. Roger , the eldest, married in 1322 Julianna , daughter of Sir Geoffrey de Say, and after her death had four other wives. He was summoned to parliament on 3 April 1360, and died on 6 Nov. 1361. His son John by his first wife was summoned to parliament from 1363 to 1376, and died 27 Feb. 1379. He married Joan, daughter of Robert Here of Faversham, Kent, and left a son, Roger, born in 1356. This last Roger was never summoned to parliament, and at the death of his son John in 1416 without offspring, the title fell into abeyance. <<<<
