Person:Robert de Strode (1)

Taken from "Strode Family" by Vic Ledger:

""By two deeds without date, David de Childhaye gave to Robert de Strode, gentleman (F), son of Hugh, a manse in Crockhaye. By another deed without date, William Foel of Broadwindsor gave this same Robert three acres in Over Wansley. By another deed, Alexander Barnard gave to Robert all his rights in land in Nether Wansley.

"Hugh de Strode, knight (G), lineal heir of John de Strode, knight (E), lived during the reign of Henry I and Stephen (1100-1154). This Hugh had a son and lineal heir, Robert de Strode. Robert de Strode (F), son of Hugh de Strode (D), gave to his nephew, Sir Hugh de Strode (G), all his lands and rents in Broadwindsor, West Huestock, Eberworth, Nether Wansley, Over Wansley, Winzor Causey, Overstand le Down and Childhaye, County of Dorset, with house, lands of freemen, and villains, wards, reliefs, heriots, escheats, and liberties there, to him and his heirs; remainder to John, brother of Hugh (G). These lands eventually descended to Sir John de Strode, who was the John de Strode who collected and drew up the pedigree chart of the Parnham Strodes (which is being followed), along with his successors, where he lived until his death in 1636.

"Returning to earlier times, another deed without date, Robert de Strode (F), canon of Sarum, gave to Hugh de Strode, knight (G), his land in West Huestock, Dibberwood, Over Wansley, Down and Childhaye, which was still in the family. That this Hugh de Strode lived during the reign of Henry II (1154-1181) is apparent by the character of the writing.
