 Maud FitzThomas 1)Daughter of Thomas FitzOtto and Beatrice de Beauchamp. Born between 1268 and 1271 2) 3) Died Y Notes: See John Botetourt for furter details on Maud being mother of Ada Botetourt. Co-heiress to her father. Theses manors presumably inherited by Maud as they were subsequently being held by Margaret, wife of John Botetourt. Belchamp Otes, Essex Belchamp William, Essex Married before 1294 2) (at least 30 years married) to:  John Botetourt 4) 5)Died 25 Nov 1324 6) 7) Notes: The evidence for Ada being a daughter of John Botetourt is as follows: Various Feet of Fines detail land transactions between John Botetourt and Maud, and John St Philibert and Ada, that are suggestive of parent-children relationship. (e.g. Dives Hall manor, in Little Chignall). William of Latimer's describes Laurence Trussell as a cousin, in his will. William is a grandson of John Botetourt. Laurence Trussell is a granddaughter of Ada. Assuming that William meant a not too distant cousin then this is the most logical explanation. Children: | |||
