  Sir John Stourton, by Catherine, daughter of Henry, Lord Beaumont, had issue an only son and heir : —
  i. — Sir William Stourton, Lord of the Manor and Advowson of Stourton, held of the Castle of Cary, Co. Somerset, father of Sir John Stourton, created Baron of Stourton, Co. Wilts., and of whom afterwards.
  Sir John Stourton, by his second wife, Jane or Joan, daughter of Ralph, Lord Basset, had issue : —
  ii. — John Stourton, of Brimpton and Preston, Co. Somerset, of which Manor of Brimpton he was Lord. The Armorial Seals at Wells, Co. Somerset, shew the seal of this John Stourton, to be only a Griffin's head between the letters I. S., as appended to Letters of Attorney, of 26th January, 1432, in which he, and his nephew, Sir John Stourton, knight, afterwards created Baron of Stourton, Co. Wilts. ; his relative, William Carent ; and his brother. Master Richard Stourton, clerk, had seisen of lands in Melesburgh and Wokey-Hole, in Wells Forum, Co. Somerset, granted to them by John Palton, Esquire, by deed of 5th January, 1432(*). In the agreement, dated at Wells, 29th September, 14 Henry VI., relating to the building of Bishop Bubwith's Almshouses in Wells, this John Stourton, was a party as "senior" and "Esquire," which follows the description in his will, the senior being presumably used to distinguish him from his nephew. Sir John, afterwards Lord Stourton(f), for he had no sons. From two Inquisitions(+), which passed between the 7 and 8 Henry VI. , he, and others, gave and granted to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew's, in Wells, the Manor of Bishop's-Kingsbury, with 14 messuages. Dovecote, 160 acres of land, 12 1/2 acres of meadow, 10 acres of pasture, and 5s. rent, in Estlangbroke ; 2 tofts [4 tofts in one Inquisition] 4 gardens, 12 acres of land, 4 acres of meadow, and 30 acres of pasture, in Hethorne, Co. Somerset. He was called John or Jenkyn Stourton(§), In 1402 John Stourton witnessed a composition then agreed to between the Dean and Chapter of Wells, and
  (*) These deeds are also given in the Genealogist, new series, Vol. VIII., from a careful research by Arthur J. Jewers, F.S.A,, who wrongly identifies him as younger son, instead of uncle of Sir John Stourton, created Baron of Stourton, Co. Wilts.
  (f) At this date it is presumed John Stourton, son of Roger Stourton, was dead.

  .... All John Stourton's landed property he had previously settled on his daughters, in his lifetime, and when his Inquisition was taken after his death, at Yeovil, in 17 Henry VI., 1439, he was called John Stourton, Esquire, of Preston, not Brimpton, and it was proved and found by the Jurors that he then held no lands, hereditaments and premises within the County of Somerset, his three daughters, (1) Cecily, wife of Thomas Kuriel, knight, aged 34 years ; (2) Johanna, wife of John Sydenham, Esquire, aged 21 years ; and (3) Alice Stourton, aged 7 years ; were his coheirs at law. These daughters were respectively children by each of his three wives, and the Inquisition is important as deciding the priority of their births. In Harleian MS., No. 1074, his first wife was erroneously given as his second one, with her name in blank, and his second wife was consequently placed as his first one, and in a pedigree prepared in 1509, there was also some confusion made in his three wives, although more care was used in ascertaining the child by each marriage, excepting as to their priority of birth. John Stourton's first wife was Joan, daughter of William Banastre, Lord of the Manors of Wheathill, Radstock, &c(*)., widow of Robert Aff'eton, living in 1395(!). He founded an obiit to "Pray for the soul of Joan, sometime the wife of John Stourton(+}." By her he had one daughter and heir, eventually a coheir : — .... etc.

  ii. — Roger Stourton is not shewn in the old pedigree of 1509, or Harleian Manuscript 1074, nor by Edmondson. Hoare's copy of the College of Arms pedigree points to him as being prior of Winton, although Collins merely mentions him as third son and having died without issue. It is very possible, as we shew on page 64, there were two Rogers living at this time, both sons of Johns, and if so it is likely that the Roger Stourton, prior of Winton, was really son of John Stourton, whom we have found was son of Roger Stourton, Lord of Horningsham. Therefore we assume Roger Stourton, with whom we are now dealing, not to have been prior of Winton, and identify him as Roger Stourton, of Preston, who married Alice, daughter and one of the three coheirs of John de la Bere, who was Lord of Thornton, in Gillingham, Co. Dorset, by Alice, his wife, afterwards wife of John Winford, from whom John Stourton, of Preston, elder brother of our Roger Stourton, acquired Brimpton Manor, Church, and Chantry, as shewn under his name. In 5 Henry V., Roger Stourton, and Alice, his wife, convened to trustees and their heirs the reversion of a third part of the Manor and Advowson of Thornton, as also in 40 acres of land and 20 acres of pasture in Thornton, as well as in 60 acres of land, 12 acres of meadow, 40 acres of pasture, and £12 rent in Great and Little Kington and Weston, which John Wynford, and Alice, his wife, widow of John de la Bere, then held for the life of Alice Wynford, which premises after her death ought to revert to the said .... etc.

  Possible burial place: Stavordale Abbey, , Somerset, England
  
  Stavordale lies about 3 miles north-east of Wincanton, and about the same distance south-east of Bruton. It is a secluded dale running into the western slopes of the uplands of Selwood. The origin of the house is not very clear, and it is difficult to understand the reason for the foundation of a house of Austin Canons within 3 miles of the house of the same order at Bruton.

  At this point the history both of the manor and of the family of Stourton becomes obscure. The pedigree gives Ralph two sons, Eudes (who is said to have d. young) and William, whose son John, according to the "History of the Noble House of Stourton", was sheriff in 1377; and this may be correct. [Complete Peerage XII/1:297]

  John de Stourton (h), 1st son and heir. From 1355 to 1378 he was in commissions for Somerset. In 1374 he founded a chantry for himself, his wife and his parents (j). From 1377 to 1379 he was escheator for Somerset and Dorset. In 1380 he was licenced to acquire land in Preston Plucknett. He m. 1stly Lettice (m); and 2ndly Alice, who survived him. The date and place of his death are unknown. [Complete Peerage XII/1:300]
  
  (h) He is described by his younger son John Stourton of Preston Plucknett as "sometimes Lord of Stourton".
  
  (j) See note "f" above, which is: (f) Where it is set out an impeximus and confirmation by the Dean and Chapter of Wells of an appropriation made 18 Mar 1374 of a chantry for the souls of John de Stourton and Alice is wife, William de Stourton and Joan his wife (both deceased, the parents of John), his brethren and sisters, and Lettice and Alice his wives.
  
  (m) See note "f" above. She was probably the mother of his elder son William, who is described in the reference given in preceding note as William son of John, not of John and Alice.
  
  ---------------------
  
  Note: The approximate birth of John was definitely bef. 1334, because he was of age and in commissions by 1355. His eldest son William, heir of Stourton, was active on various commissions by "1382" (ie. of age in 1382 so he was b. bef 1361), "d. 18 Sep 1413", and didn't marry until "bef. 1398", his son & heir being "b. abt 1399". The items in quotes are Complete Peerage dates. Of course he could have married well before 1398. William refused to take the position of Speaker of the House of Commons because he was infirm in 1413, I think he could have been 50 or more then.

Hoare's College of Arms states that Catherine was the daughter of Henry, Lord Beaumont. The authorities dispute whether this was Henry I or Henry III. The latter is conjectured by Joseph and is presented here. [S34] The History of the Noble House of Stourton, Charles Boltoph Joseph, (Chicago: The Institute of American Genealogy, 1899), vol. 1, 79. "Hoare's copy of the College of Arms Pedigree states Sir John Stourton married secondly, Jane or Joan, daughter, of Ralph, Lord Basset, which is confirmed by many other authorities. The strongest evidence against this marriage is that neither of the Lords Basset bearing that name, had a dughter Janes, and that the Stourtons never claimed coheirship to that dignity, which fell into abeyance in 1390, on the death of Ralph, the last Lord Basset, among his coheirs, about whom there is some uncerainty amonst historians. It is clear that Sir John Stourton married more than once, although Brydges' Collins' Peerage makes all the children of Sir John Stourton to have been the issue of this second wife, which is proved to be erroneous from the fact that when Sir John Stourton purchased the before mentioned property from William de Pappeworth, he limited the same not only to himself, Alice, his wife, and the issue of that marriage, but for default thereof he made an after remainder in favour of William Stourton, his son and heir, the ancestor of the Barons Stourton, which tended towards the probablility that this William was the issue of another wife, as we think in fact he was. We ascertain that Sir John Stourton had a wife, Alice, which is not shewn by any authority, and taking the Basset pedigree we find that Alice, daughter of Nicholas, Lord Audley of Helegh, by Elizabeth, his wife, said by Banks to be the only daughter of Henry, Lord Beaumont, married Ralph Basset, who never succeeded to the peerage, as he died about 1335, in the lifetime of his father, Ralph, Lord Basset, when after the death of Ralph Basset, his widow, Alice Basset, married Hugh Meynell, who as a gallant soldier fought at Cressy ant Poiters. Both Ralph, Lord Basset, father and son respectively of Ralph Basset, left widows of the name of Jane, and these Lords died repsectively 25th Feb., 1343, and 10th May, 1390. We are unable to say whether Jane, widow of Ralph, Lord Basset, the grandfather, was the second wife of Sire John Stourton, or whether the second wife was Alice, widow of Ralph Basset, and identical with Alice, whom we find mentioned as wife of Sir John Stourton
