    "It is, however, alleged by reputable authorities that this Roger [Hoesgyn] was the great-grandson of a Sir Thomas Holland who married Joyce daughter of Sir Jasper Croft, and lived in the reign of Edward I. This Sir Thomas was alleged to be a son of the first Sir Thurstan Holland of Upholland, and therefore brother of Sir Robert Holland, father of Robert, first Lord Holland. The name of such a Thomas does not occur in the Lancashire records, but it is perhaps not enough to prove his non-existence. Thurstan had, however, a son named Roger, but nothing is known of him, or any descendants of his. Roger may possibly have gone to Wales."

    This Sir Thomas was, according the best authorities, brother to Sir Robert Holland, Knt., who is said to have been the father of Robert Lord Holland, the progenitor of the Dukes of Exeter and Surrey. (See, in the Heralds' College, -- Prothero MSS.-- The Fifteen Tribes of N. Wales, p. 164; Advenae of Carnarvon, p. 74; Vincent MS. 135, p. 85; in the Brit. Mus. Harl. MSS., 1468, p. 50; 1500, p. 46)
    The difficulties which beset the account of this Sir Thomas Holland given by Pennant (vol. ii, p. 730), and partly countenanced by the pedigrees in Lewis Dwnn, are pointed out by Sir S. Meyrick in his notes to the latter, and by Randall Holme in Harl. MS. 1971.
