| Sir John Griffin of Gumley Ewing (a 1347) | |||||||||||||||
| m. Elizabeth Favell (dau of John Favell of Weston Favell) | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | Sir Thomas Griffin | ||||||||||||||
| BE1883 reports that Sir Thomas died 33rd Edward IV (1494) but TCP (Latimer) is clear that both his wife and his son were dead by 1411. It is possible that BE1883 meant 33rd Edward III (1360). | |||||||||||||||
