ADAM DE PESHALE

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

Sampson Eardswicke says this Adam married one of the daughters and heirs of John Caverswall and had the manor of Bishop's Offley as a result. At that time, his father Adam gave him Horsley to better his standing for this advantageous marriage. Another source says it was that marriage to Joan de Eyerton, heiress to the de Cresswalls which was the advantageous match. This marked the return of the family to Staffordshire. He was Sherriff of Staffordshire and Shropshire in 1341.

He had a manor and flocks of sheep at Himley near Eccleshall. He was killed by enemies Jan. 8, 1346. They justified the murder by claiming falsely that he had been outlawed and that his property was forfeit to the King. The widow had to fight the King's claim in court. This battle continued for many years. Adam de Peshale Died @1348

"The same chain of circumstances that made his brother a prisoner in the Tower of London, made Adam de Peshale a party to the lawlessness and rioting warfare in Staffordshire. In the days when men who disagreed as to political policies each maintained his personal views by the power of his sword, we see the Barons under Montfort waging actual and successful against their king and afterwards acting as though they had all the time been faithful law-abiding subjects. This view had extended to the courts of justice...."

"That our ancestor survived until he had sons and that we are in existence is simply because he and his sons were warriors of unusual prowess: brave, true and efficient." (Pearsalls v. 1 pp.511-512)

Adam de Peshale had the following child:
