  • 5. HUMPHREY PERSHALL, son of Sir Hugh de Peshall, Chapter 22, Section 1, married Helena, daughter of Humphrey Swinnerton of Swinnerton Castle and his wife Ann, daughter of Thomas Swinnerton of Hilton, Chapter 23, Section 2. She was the widow of John Delves (The Delves Family Genealogy of Cheshire). Child: -
    • 1. *4. JOHN PERSHALL, Chapter 24, Section 1.
  • Humphrey Pershall only survived his father one year, so that he had no opportunity to make any impression upon the records of Staffordshire. His whole life was spent in turmoil of thw Wars of the Roses except the last four years unter the rule of King Henry VII. of the House of Lancaster and Tudor. He died in 1489. .... etc.
  • The alliance between Humphrey Peshall and his wife is of unusual interest as thereby we became again double Peshalls. The Swinnerstons were originally Peshalls and both the father and mother of Helena were Swinnertons, hence by her marriage with Humphrey Peshall she was coming right back into the original line of her own ancestry, even though it was of course many generations removed. The following chart give the ancestry of Helen Swinnerton beginning with Stephen the son of John de Swinnerton and his wife Eleanor de Peshale.
