Sir Thomas Swynnerton (d. 1361)

✓ Sir Thomas Swynnerton, knight, brother and heir of Robert Swynnerton, clerk (d. June 23 Edw. III); d. December 35 Edw. III (1361). Leycester's text calls the first holder 'sir Robert Swynerton, banneret, died 12 Edw. III' after naming the banneret as Sir Roger - so the generation above Thomas is not wired. TOP - nothing further wired. Source: Ormerod, History of the County Palatine and City of Chester (1819), vol.
