=== Life Sketch ===
William de Vernon
Died: AFT 1052
Married: Emma FITZOSBERN
Children: 1. Richard de Vernon (Seigneur de Reviers)
This family is descended from the Lords of Vernon, in the duchy of Normandy. Their common ancestor, William de Vernon, assumed his surname from the town and district of Vernon, whereof he was sole proprietor, annon 1052. He founded and richly endowed the collegiate and parochial church of St. Mary, in Vernon, for a Dean and Secular Canons, and lies interred there, under an altar monument, whereon is his effigies.
He had two sons, Richard and Walter, both who came to England with William the Conqueror. The younger, Walter obtained the Lorships of Winfleton, Nesse, Ledsame and Preston, in Cheshire; Hertwell, Adestock and Plact-Merton, in Bucks, and had a shire in his father's possessions in Normandy; but dying without issue, they descended to his elder brother, Richard de Vernon, Lord of Vernon.
~Collin's Peerage of England, Vol. 7, pg. 648
~Ormerod's The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester, "Vernon of Shipbrook Pedigree, Vol. III" p. 252, begins the family with William, Lord of Vernon in Normandy who had two sons, Richard de Vernon and Walter de Vernon.
=== Curt Hofemann, curt_hofeman@yahoo.com, wrote in a post-em: ===
A charter for Daint-Pere of Chartres, which was passed before 1061, and probably before 1053, show that at the time the family had then obtained full lordship of Vernon, together with its castle; and William of Vernon retained tis lordship until after the Norman conquest, his last recorded act being in 1077 when he made a grant to the monestary of Le Bec. It is rare indeed that the origin of a Norman territorial family of the second class can be illustrated with this particularity from the independent charters of four religious houses.
