Agnes de la Bere may have been a daughter of Richard de la Bere, however, his ancestry is extremely problematic. Other secondary books identify her as Agnes Quartermains but that seems to be a confused interpretation of sources - as evidenced in the Memorials of the Danvers family. No attempt ahs been made to include Agnes' ancestors. -- The main primary evidence is heraldic - Agnes's Unton descendants believed she was a Quartermain - e.g. Edward Unton (grandson of Thomas Unton), on his tomb had the arms of Unton, Fettiplace, Yonge (his grandfather's first-wife), Danvers and Quartermains.

Of these the eldest was Robert, who, as we learn from the register of Lincoln's Inn, was admitted a student of the Inn in the year 1420. As students were at that period usually admitted when in their teens, it is probable that Robert was born about the year 1400". Reference: Page 102 (Data from secondary evidence)
