  Sir John Rodney, Kt. the eldest son, was ten years old at his
  father's death, when his wardship was committed to Richard Crofts, Esq. He resided at Rodney Stoke, the Court House of which he re- built, and died 1526, having married Anne, daughter of his guardian, then Sir Richaid Crofts, Kt., by whom (who died 1546)'' he had issue three sons, Walter, who predeceased his father, Francis, who died, s. p. 1539, and George 22 in 1589, who was of Westbury near Wells, married Elizabeth Kirton, and was ancestor of the Rodneys of Stoke,and of the existing Rodney family.*
  
  Up to this time the great Rodney estates had always devolved in their entirety upon the eldest son, who in this instance presuming upon his succession, threatened his brothers, in boyish quarrel, that he would make them repent, when he came to his own.
  
  This their father overhearing, alienated to his younger sons and their heirs his manors of Over Badgworth and Congresbury, and it was well he did, as subsequent events will show. Sir John had three daughters, Grace, Catherine, and Elizabeth or Dorothy, married respectively to Christopher Lyatt, Thomas Roynon, and William Brent.

Penes Rev. J. Duncombe. by Margaret, daughter of __ Malwyn, he had issue, Sir Richard Croft, first son, mentioned above; Richard second son, who by the description of Richard Croft the younger, received a grant of lands, togerther with Thomas Croft, Esquare, 1461, (Rot. Parl. vol. v.p. 586), and was apparently spoken of in the letter noticed in the text from Ed. IV., when Earl of March, and his brother, the Earl of Rutland, circa 1456, and died 18th Henry VII. 1502, (Cotton. MSS. Claudius, C. viii). His will is dated 12th August, 1501, and was proved 16 March, 1501-2, in which he described himself "of Chipping Norton" (Record in Doctors' Commons, marked Blaymyer, 14); he married Ann, daughter of __ Fox, by whom he had issue 'Hugh, son and heir'; Elizabeth wife of Sir John Fienes, Knight; Lionel; and Ann, who married Sir John Rodney of Stoke Rodney, co. Somerset (Will before quoted). William Croft had also a daughter, who married John Dombleton, alias Downton, Esquire (Harleian MSS. 1566, fol. 116); and it is probable that he had a third son, Thomas, who received a grant of lands with Richard Croft, the younger, in 1461 and 1473 (Cal. Rot. and Patent Rot. Parl. vol. v. p. 589, and vol. vi. p. 84b): this Thomas Croft was Ranger of Whichwode Forest in Oxfordshire, Bailiff of Fawnhope in Herfordshire, and Parker of Pembragge, also in Hers (Rot. Parl. vol. vi. p. 342). He committed "a detestable murder in the Marches of Wales," and thereby forfeited all his offices, and took sanctuary at Baudeley, 7th Hen, VII., 1491 (Rot. Parl. vol. vi. p. 441), and levied a fine of a third part of the manor of Shotwell in Warwickshire with Elizabeth his wife, 12th Ed. IV. 1472, by which it appears, that she was coheir to the lands formerly belonging to Sir John Beauchamp (Dugdale's Warwick, Ed. 1765, p. 385).
