SECTION
1.
*11.
ADAM DE PESHALE, son of Adam de Peshale,
Chapter 16, Section 1; married Joan de Eyton,
daughter of John de Eyton of the Wildmoors, co. Salop and relict of Sir Henry de Cresswell of Creswell and Bishops Offley,
Staff. Chapter 17, Section 2. Children:
1. *10 SIR RICHARD DE PESHALE,
Chapter 18, Section 1.
2. Sir Hamo de Peshall, Chapter 18, Section 5.
3. Sir Adam de Peshall,
Chapter 18, Section 3.
4. John de Peshall,
Chapter 18, Section 6.
5. Isabella de Peshall, married
Thomas Gech of Newport, and second Sir Robert Franceys, knt. This Thomas Gech de Newport, who married Isabel, sister of Sir
Adam de Peshale, was lord of High Ercall and direct ancestor of the Newport, afterwards Earl of Bradford;
his widow Isabel was afterwards married to Sir Robert Francyes,
knight. [Staff. Hist. Col.
vol. 2, page 115.]
6. Catherine de Peshall, married
Robert Costliffe. They had a daughter Christine
who married John Mowlesley. John Mowlesley married Christine, daughter and heir of
Robert Costliffe and Catharine his wife, sister
of Sir Adam de Peshall. They had the Mosley of Bilston. [Ibid., vol. 5,
part 2, page 218 & vol. 1, page 353.]
Erdeswick says this Adam married
one of the daughters and heirs of John Caverswall,
and had Bishop's Offley by reason thereof; for
whose better advancement, his father gave him Horseley,
to make him a marriage fit for an heiress. The dis¬tinguished
author of the History of the Manor and Parish of Blymhill
says it was not the daughter and heir of John de Caverswall
by whom Adam de Peshale obtained Bishop's Offley. This manor was acquired by his marriage with
Joan, the daughter of John de Eyton and relict
of Sir Henry de Creswalle or Kerswell (which is an altogether different family
from Caverswall, though it has often been
confounded with it), which Henry had held it of John de Eyton, of Eyton on the Wyldmore, by military service, Wyldmoor
being part of the Pantulf's Barony of Wemme. On the death of Sir Henry de Cresswalls, John de Eyton
took the manor into his own hands to hold till the lawful age of Joan and
Eliza¬beth the daughters and heirs of Sir
Henry, and held it until Adam de Peshale
