(1493 - 1553)

Palmer, Charles Ferrers Raymund (1819-1900), The History of the Town and Castle of Tamworth, p. 364 (in footnote)

[Note that the Will of John Ferrers (1463-1512) as shown in the Collections for a History of Staffordshire (1917), p. 282, fn. 8 bequeaths items to 6 named children but does not mention a Humphrey as a son. See note for John Ferrers (1463-1512). But the Collections cite Shaw and suggest that Humphrey may have been the sun of John's first wife, Maud, while the children named in the will were from his second wife, Dorothy Harpur.]
