"Chapter V --- Sir Richard De Peshale and the Peshalls of the Fifteenth Century. Sir Richard, the eldest son of Adam de Peshale, became lord of Chetwynd, Co. Salop, before 1343, by marriage with Joan, granddaughter of Sir John de Chetwynd. He was Sheriff of Shropshire in 1374 and 1375, and was knighted in 1376, in which year and the following also he was again Sheriff. This Sir Richard is mentioned in the Plea Rolls of 48 Ed. III. (1375) when 'William de Kynardesle (Kynnersley) sued Richard de Peshale, Chivaler, for the Manor of Hanleye." (Staff. Hist. Coll., vol. xii. New Series, p. 33.) This Sir richard died in 1387, leaving two sons, Sir Thomas Peshall of Peshall, Horsely and Chetwynd; and Sir Humphrey Peshall of Hopton and Teyne, The latter and his descendants are dealt with in Chapter VII. At an Inquisition taken at Stafford 'Wednesday before the Feast of Corpus Christi, 12 Richard II. (1388-9), the Jurors say that Sir Richard de Peshale, Kt., who is dead, was seized 11 March, 9 Rich. II. of a messuage and lands in Horsely, Rule, Byshop's Offelely, Adbaston and Draycote, etc.' There is a possibility that Sir Richard had, besides Thomas and Humphrey, other sons, Nicholas, Adam and Robert. Thus in 1384 is recorded 'the exchange between Master Nicholas de Peshale, Rector of Kyngesclyve, Lincoln, and R. Thurban, Rector of Egemunden,' (Staff. Hist. Coll., vol. x. pt. ii. p. 215.) and the Plea Rolls of 19 Rich. II. (1396) we read that 'Nicholas de Peshale, Rector of Egemundon, and Robert de Peshale of Knyghton are indicted for aiding the escape from the King's prison, the Castle of Shrewbury, of Thomas Peshale, Kt., and Adam Peshale, son of Richard de Peshale, Chivaler.' A document bearing the seal of this Nicholas de Peshale is preserved among the Campbell Charters at the British Museum. The document (Ref. Campb. XXVIII. 10) reads as follows:- 'Letters of attorney of Master Nicholas de Peshal, Rector of Egemundon Church, John le Bret, Rector of Adderley Churc h, and Richard de Adekyne, Chaplain appointing Hugh Knottesford, Ralph Stoke and John Stoke, their attorneys, to deliver to Sir John Gryffyn, Knt., and Anne his wife, seisin of the Manors of Bertherton and Greysty in Shanyngton, Saltheryssethe in Wylaston and in Wyterston and one "wychehous" in Marlboro Street beyond the bridge with all appurtenances, to the said John and Anne and their lawful issue. 'Given at Bertherton, Thursday next after Pentecost, Henry IV.' (1399). Later is it recorded that 'Thomas Peshale, Chivaler, son of Richard de Peshale, Chivaler, produced Letters Patent pardoning him.' In 1386 again, we find that 'Humphrey de Peshale is indicted for having received Richard de Peshale and Adam de Peshale at his house at allbryghton when they were escaping after having committed a felony.' In the Plea Rolls of the same year, a John de Whethale is mentioned, and in the same pleadings he is also called John de Peshale. His relation to the other Peshales is not mentioned." Above taken from the Parshall book, 1915, pages 75-79.
