♂Richard Delabar

Richard Delabar was the eighteenth great-grandfather of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through his daughter Agnes Delabar. He is said to have been an English knight, and his daughter Agnes was the first wife of Sir Robert Danvers of Ipwell, in Oxfordshire, a judge of the Court of Common Pleas^W. Through Agnes, Sir Richard was the grandfather of Agnes Danvers (born about 1445), who became one of Sir Robert’s co-heiresses and the wife of Sir Walter Dennis of Olveston, in Gloucestershire.

Sir Richard is known from a single line in Douglas Richardson, Magna Carta Ancestry (2005), p. 272, in the account of his granddaughter: “AGNES DANVERS, daughter and co-heiress of Robert Danvers, Knt., of Ipwell, Oxfordshire, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, by his 1st wife, Agnes, daughter of Richard Delabar, Knt.” The same page gives Agnes Danvers’s age as 22 in 1467. Richardson gives no wife, home, dates or places for Sir Richard himself.
