| John Staunton or Stanton (a 1475) | |||||||||||||||
| Visitation shows John as younger brother of Thomas Stanton of Stanton, both being sons of Thomas of "Stanton neer Belvoyr (Com) Lei(cester)". The connection is to the family of Staunton of Staunton Park which is in Nottinghamshire (which may have had a 12th century connection to the Lord de Belvoir) but that seems reasonable given that BLGI1912 identifies the arms of the following family, quartered with those of Lynch, as "Arg. two chevronels, sa." which is the same as those shown for the connected family. We are not concerned about Visitation spelling the family name throughout as Stanton rather than Staunton. | |||||||||||||||
