Families covered: Blencowe of Hayes, Blencowe of Marston St. Lawrence, Blencow of Purston
| Commoners reports that this family was "a branch of a very old Cumberland family, which had property at Greystock in that county". From this we presume that this family is a cadet of that shown on Blencowe1. Commoners also reports that this branch was seated at Marston "earlier than 1446". | |||||||||||||||

| BLG1952 omits this generation altogether. Noting that it is the last generation reported by Visitation (the dates & marriage being inserted by the Harleian editor), and that BLG1886 (Blescowe of Marston St. Lawrence) include it, we presume that BLG1952 was in error and follow Commoners & Visitation. This is supported by the lack of clarity in BLG1952 as to exactly how the undermentioned Samuel Jackson, later Blencowe, was connected to the family. | |||||||||||||||
