    Note: De Banco, Hillary, 11 R. II [1387/8] Devon. Hugh de Courtenay and Elizabeth his wife sued Fulk Fitzwarren, knight for a third of the manor of Kyngeston, as dower of Elizabeth, of the dotation of Thomas de Audeleye, knight, her former husband. Fulk pleaded that Elizabeth was not entitled to dower from the manor, and stated that in 33 E. III [1359/60] a fine was levied by which the reversion of the manor, which was then held by Margaret, formerly wife of William Martyn, was settled on James de Audeley, of Helegh, and Isabella his wife for their lives, with remainder to Oliver, the son of James and Isabella, and to his male issue, and failing such, with remainder to Thomas de Audley and his male issue, and failing such, with remainder to Roland, brother of Thomas, and to his male issue, and failing such, to revert to the heirs of the bodies of James and Isabella. And James and Isabella had entered after the death of Oliver, James de Audley demised the manor to Thomas for his life, Thomas being then of full age, with a proviso that if Thomas died during the life time of James, he could re-enter into the manor, and Roland afterwards died, leaving no male issue, and Thomas died leaving no issue. James then re-entered into the manor and had died seised of it, and after the death of James, Fulk had entered as kinsman and nearest heir of James and Isabella, viz., as son of Blanch, the daughter of James and Isabella. The suit was adjourned to three weeks from Easter. A postscript shows further adjournments up to Michaelmas 13 R. II [1389/90] m. 463.

  18. Title: Appendix I of "Ancestors and Descendants of John Price: Immigrant to Virginia: 1610-11"
    Note: Although the book is compiled by Vina Chandler Price, Appendix I was included at the request of Mrs. Margaret Scruggs Carruth, and was researched by Miss Kett and by Mr. H. E. Forrest (after the death of Miss Kett, which took before 1930). Both Miss Kett and Mr. Forrest were reputed to be professional genealogists. Mr Forrest is also referred to as the "Antiquarian Editor" of the Shrewsbury Chronicle I looked H. E. Forrest online and found that he is also the editor of the following books: --"Shrewsbury Burgess Roll", published in 1924 by the Shrewsbury and Shropshire Archaeological and Parish Register Society --"The old Churches of Shrewsbury: Their History, Architecture and Associations", published in 1920 by Shrewsbury, Wilding & Son --"Some Old Shropshire Houses and their Owners: Braggington (with a plate), Dinthill, Whitley, & Play-Y-Court", published in 1915 by Shropshire Archaeological & Natural History Society. Margaret Scruggs Carruth is a charter member of "Daughters of the Barons of Runnemede". She served as Registrar when it was first organized, and is listed as member #22. To be eligible for membership, a person must descend from one or more of the Barons of Runnemede. The Barons forced King John to agree to the Magna Carta, a charter constituting a fundamental guarantee of rights and privileges. Mrs. Scruggs claims eligibility for membership through John Price who supposedly descended from eleven of the Barons. Appendix I provides two different lineages. One is from Robert Fitzwalter (who was one of the Barons of Runnemede) to John Price (born 1584-5), and the titular character of this book. The 2nd is from Elystan Glodrydd app Cyhelin ap Ifor (933-1010) (who was Prince of Ferlllys and founder of the Fourth Royal Tribe of Wales) back to the same John Price.
    Page: James 4th Lord Audley (8th Gen, pg. 516) is identified as: the son of Nicholas d'Audlithley (died 1319) (7th Gen, pp. 515-516) and Joane Martin (daughter of Sir William Martin and wife Eleanor); the husband of Joane Mortimer (daughter of Roger de Mortimer, Earl of March, and wife Joane (daughter of Peter Geneville)); and the father of Joane d'Audley (9th Gen, pg. 516).
