The testatrix was one of the four daughters and co-heirs of Thomas de la Hay of Spaldington. Hence it was that she found a resting-place in Selby abbey. She had taken the Vow of chastity after her husband's death. Thomas Thwaites, according to a pedigree made by Dodsworth, was the son and heir of John Thwaites, whose wife, Jane Thornton, was a great heiress. John Thwaites, son and heir of Thomas, had a son Thomas, who married Emma, daughter and co-heiress of Nicholas Midelton, by whom he had Thomas and John Thwaites, and Isabella, heiress of her brother, who married Sir William Eairfax, knight, of Steeton.
