  Botolph of Stourton, temp, conquestoris, had besides his elder son and heir, Sir Robert, a younger son, Galfridus. Mr. Edmondson starts his pedigree with Bartholomew Stourton, the first Lord of Stourton after the Conquest, whom Sir Richard Colt Hoare, quoting the College of Arms pedigree, presumed was identical with Botolph Stourton. This is confirmed by the official pedigree in the College of Arms, in which Botolph is given as the first known ancestor of the Lords Stourton, after the Conquest.
  It is thought possible that this Botolph may have had a younger son called Bartholomew, especially when it is considered that that name has the appropriate meaning of "son of him who made the waters to rise," and that as Botolph Stourton had inherited the fishery rights and customs of his ancestor, Botolph Stourton, the Saxon Thane, who had the original grant from King Alfred the Great, as before shown, he may have, as the then head of the family, named a son Bartholomew, in reference to the head or rise of the river Stour being in the parish of Stourton, and to the fact that that river is supposed to have been dyed by the blood of those slain in battle at Stourton. But if the meaning of the name has a relation to any particular episode, it might equally appropriately refer to the breaking down of the sea walls of the Severn.

  Sir Robert Stourton, Lord of Stourton, son and heir of Botolph, also Lord there, had by his wife, Agnes, an elder son and heir.
  Sir William Stourton, Knight, also called Lord of Stourton, successor to his father, and who had a son and heir,
  Sir Michael Stourton, who was the last to be styled "Lord of Stourton." He lived in the troublous times of King John, and King Henry III., when the risings of the Barons and feudal Lords against the Throne caused so many to lose their Estates, as presumably did this Sir Michael Stourton, .... etc.

  .... He (Sir Michael) married Mary daughter of John, Lord Mauduit(*), and had, besides a younger son, Guy Stourton, an eldest son and heir.
  Sir John Stourton, knight, of Stourton, Co. Wilts,, who predeceased his father and married Gracia, daughter of Thomas, Lord Hungerford, of Helsbury(t), by Jane, his wife, daughter and heir of Sir Edward Hussey, and had issue : —
  i. — Eudo Stourton, whom Edmondson has evidently confused with Sir John Stourton, his father, in placing his mother as his wife. Collins shews him as eldest son and heir apparent of Sir John Stourton, but as dying in his father's lifetime, which is probably correct for his younger brother, Sir Ralph Stourton, is said to have succeeded his grandfather, Sir Michael, as heir to the Manor and Advowson of Stourton, held of Hugh Lovel, as of his Castle of Cary, Co, Somerset, which honour he held of the Crown in chief. The College of Arms pedigree, which Hoare printed, confirms Collins as to Gracia Hungerford being wife of Sir John Stourton. .... etc.

  ii. — Sir Ralph Stourton, a knight of the Holy Sepulchre, who was buried in the North Aisle of Stourton Church, to which had been presented before 1316 and in 1318 a Eudonis supposed to have been a Eudonis Stourton. He (Sir Ralph) is said to have succeeded his grandfather, Sir Michael Stourton, as heir, as he must have survived his father and elder brother, Sir John and Eudonis Stourton. In 19th Edward I., when Hugo Lovel had an extent of his Knight fees and Advowsons of Churches taken, the jurors found that Ralph de Stourton, held Stourton, with the Advowson, by the service of one Knight's fee, of him, as of his Castle of Cary, Co. Somerset, presumably to do suit and homage there from three weeks to three weeks. He married Alice, daughter of Thomas, Lord Berkeley, by whom he had two sons : —
  (a). — Sir Eudo or Edward Stourton, who is said to have died sine prole in his fathers lifetime, and who might have been Eudonis, rector of Stourton, and identical with Eudonis Stourton who laid claim to that Church.
  (b). — Sir William Stourton, eldest living son and heir, of whom later on, and from whom the Barons Stourton descend.
  Sir Ralph Stourton is said by Edmondson to have had several children by a second wife, Laurencia. Richard de Stourton, who was presented 27 February, 1295, to the Church of Little Langford, Co. Wilts., in the diocese of Sarum, might very well have been one of those children. The Daungen family were originally ancient Lords and Patrons there, and we find as early as 1255, domino de Aungens, being one of the witnesses with domino Ivone de Stourtone, militibus, and domino Johanne de Vernoun, to the aforesaid Charter of Sir Ralph Baskerville. .... etc.
