  m. Edith Latimer (dau of Sir Nicholas Latimer of Duntish, widow of John Green)
  BE1883 reports that Sir John was succeeded by his eldest son William who dsp and was succeeded by his brother John. TCP (Mordaunt) notes that this had been thought to be true but the relevant source was found to be a forgery.
  ((i)) Sir John Mordaunt of Turvey, Sheriff of Bedford and Buckinghamshire, 1st Lord (b by 1485, d 18.08.1562)
m. (1499) Elizabeth Vere (dau of Sir Henry Vere of Drayton & Adington)
  ((ii)) John Mordaunt (dsp) probably of this generation
  m. Anne Vere (dau of Sir Henry Vere of Drayton & Adington)
  ((iii)) Jane Mordaunt
BE1883 & Visitation (Essex) show Joan a generation earlier but Visitation (Bedfordshire) appears to be right in showing her as daughter of Sir John.
  m. Giles Strangwayes of Melbury/Hyndeforde
  ((B)) William Mordaunt of Hempsted or Hempstead
  William is shown by Visitation as son rather than brother of Sir John. We follow BP1934 & BE1883 in showing him as of this generation.

  ((v)) Alice Mordaunt or Mordant probably of this generation
  m. Robert Lockton of Swineshead

  The above is probably omitting some siblings whose male line died out. For example, Visitation (Essex, 1612, Westley and Bendishe) reports a John Mordant of Turvey who, with his son John (also of Turvey), probably lived in the early 15th century.
