    To Thomas Stones escheator in Staffordshire. Order to give John Delves son of John Delves son of Henry Delves deceased, being cousin and heir of the said Henry, seisin of a third part of the hamlets of Buckenhale and Fenton Culvert; as the king has learned by inquisition, taken by the escheator, that Isabel who was wife of John Delves knight at her death held that third part in dower of his heritage by endowment of her husband in chief by knight service; and the king has taken the homage and fealty of the said John for the lands of Henry his grandfather.

  3.   Ormerod notes there is conflict among sources concerning John's wives: whether the first was Phillipa Mainwaring or Philippa Harcourt, and whether there was another, Margaret Norwode. Ormerod,(following Dugdale?), makes Philippa Mainwaring the mother of all the children, but notes that Collins makes Margaret Norwode the mother of Richard and John, and Phillipa Harcourt the mother of Thomas, Margery, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Joan.
