  Coll. His. Staffs. (Wm Salt) 1917/18: 9-10 has more on these Williams:
  
  Sir William de St. of Sandon and Bramshall and of Amblecoe was b. ca. 1255. He was MP for Staffs. 1290, 1298, 1296, 107/8, 1311/12, 1313, 1318. He was the son and H. of Sir William de S. of Bramshall, d. 1252/8, by his 2nd wife Auda (d. 1276/9) widow of Hugh Beauchamp of Bedford and eldest dtr. of Vernon of Sandon. The MP married before 1272, Cecily, dtr. and h. of Robert Waure of Amblecot. He is the stammvater [I think this is German for ultimate ancestor?] of the Staffords of Sandon; of Seile, Derby.; of Grafton, Worc.; of Southwick, znoHants.; of Hook, Dorset; of Huncote; of Frome, Somerset; etc. He d. after 1339.
  
  His son William Jr. married Isabel Stafford, dtr. and h. of Robert de Stafford and Gundred de Stafford, dtr. of Sir William and his first wife Ermentrude fitzWalkeline. They had five sons: James, John (of Bramshall), Edmund, William, and Walter.
  
  "The father, Sir William de Stafford 9c. 1225-58), had married first Ermentrude, daughter and co-heiress of William FitzWalkelin, before 1252; and was the son and heir of Sir William de Stafford (c. 1195-1240), who was himself the second son of the whole blood of Hervy Bagot of Bramshall and melicent de Stafford, the heiress of the Stafford Barony. So that our Sir William, the first M.P. for Staffordshire, was second cousin to the contemporary Lord Stafford, and his grandsons, Sir James and Sir John, were fourth cousins of the great Earl Stafford whose sister and daughter they respectively married."
  
  By the way, it is said that a daughter of the Sir John and Margaret Stafford marriage married a Trussell. Can anyone confirm or disprove this?
