Family notes:
·
The source given has a poem [transcribed in
1650], and a discussion of surrounding events of 1341.
·
The genealogy of this family is not very
specific in the source given. This is a chronological and otherwise
record-based attempt to clarify the lineage. This is different from existing
published genealogies, which are based on a parenthetical addition to a record
of 7/10/1396.
·
Sir John Eland of Eland was the high steward to
the Earl of Warren, who had a private war with Thomas, earl of Lancaster,
involving Alice de Lacy [died 1348], gd/o the Earl of Lincoln, wife of Thomas,
earl of Lancaster [beheaded 1332.]
·
John had a half-brother, Thomas de Eland, who married
by 1343 Joan de Melton [widow of Robert de Conyers, and niece of William de
Melton, Archibishop of York], they had a son and heir named Robert. [1343, the
wardship of Margaret, daughter of Robert son of Thomas de Conyers was granted
to Thomas Eland and Joan, his wife.] This Thomas’ 5th child by Joan
was a daughter Isabel. The timeline does not support her being the heiress,
besides the fact that she had older brothers, and besides the fact that Thomas
was a younger half-brother of John.
·
Family history: Lesingus de Eland of
Lasing-Croft, Yorkshire, had a son Henry de Eland, who had Hugh de Eland, who
had Sir John de Eland [living 1246, and 1275 at Brighouse Turne], who had Sir
Hugh de Eland [died 1310-11] who married Joan, coheiress & d/o Sir Richard
Tankersley, knight. [10/5/1307, Hugh and his grandfather Hugh witnessed a deed
of John, earl of Warren, at Koningsburgh to the free burgesses of
Wakefield.] Hugh and Joan had Thomas
[father of this John], Richard, Margaret, and Wymark (daughter). [Margaret
married John de Lacy, her father in 1293 giving them all his lands in South
Owram, except the manor of Eland. Wymark married Jordan de Mittton.]
·
There was a ‘John de Eland’, of Hundersfield,
not a knight, in the early records. Another ‘John de Eland’ in 1335 in
Lancaster.

i. Isabel de Eland
(1477120), born ~1335 in England.
