♂John de Longland

Dates not yet known.

John de Longland was an esquire of Grove, in the parish of South Brent, Somerset, the village now called Brent Knoll. He was the twentieth great-grandfather of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through his daughter Agnes Longland (about 1370 – before 21 September 1419).

John is said to have married Isabel de Beaupre, the daughter of Sir Ralph de Beaupre of Trenoweth-with-Trewithgy, in Probus, Cornwall, and his wife Margaret de Furneaux. They had at least three daughters. Agnes, the third, was born at Axbridge, in Somerset, about 1370, and married first John Farway of Penhallam, in Cornwall, and then Robert Coker of Lydeard St. Lawrence, in Somerset. In 1414 Agnes’s sister, Margaret Hakluyt, left her a silver cup with a cover in her will.

Notes

Sources

John’s marriage, his wife’s parents and his daughters are from Douglas Richardson, Plantagenet Ancestry, 2nd edition (2011), vol. 1, pp. 173–174, a compiled genealogy, in the descent chart that opens its account of Agnes Longland; Richardson refers to his account of the Longland family under Fitz Ives in vol. 2. Among his sources for Agnes is a Furneaux family pedigree dated 1421, printed in Somerset and Dorset Notes and Queries, vol. 16 (1920), pp. 281–285, which names her parents: “Et predicta Annes [Longland] tercia filia predicti Johannis [de Longland] et Isabelle marritata fuit Johanni Fareway” (And the said Annes, third daughter of the said John de Longland and Isabel, was married to John Fareway).

Dates

No date is given for John’s birth, marriage or death. The nearest date is his daughter Agnes’s birth about 1370, from her age of ten in 1380.
