Joan de Ufford 1) Died after 1320 1) Notes: Within the foundation of the black friars in Dunwich there was a burial for "Dame Jone Weyland, Sister of the Earle of Suffolk", The referenced Earl must be an Ufford, given their close association with Dunwich, and, chronologically it would seem she has to be a sister of the first Earl of Suffolk, Robert de Ufford. Married 2) to: Richard de Weyland 1) Son of John de Weyland and Mary de Braose. Died ± Apr 1320 1) Notes: There are references to a Richard de Weyland, son of Thomas. That cannot be this Richard as the Richard, son of Thomas, died without heirs - his inheritance went to his brother John and nephew Richard. The Richard that is father of Cecily must therefore be a son of John, son of Thomas. Child: 1. Cecily de WeylandBorn ± Dec 1319 1) Notes: Heiress of Weyland. Possibly named after her maternal grandmother, Cecily de Valoignes. |
