Thomas? de Ferrers

(Ca 1240 - )

History of the Town of Uttoxeter, Francis Redfern 1865 p. 327

A junior Ferrers of Tutbury held Loxley , which is about two miles west of Uttoxeter, in Henry II.'s reign [1154-1189], and in the time of Henry III [1216-1272], it belonged to Robert de Ferrers. In 1327 married Johanna, daughter to a second Thomas de Ferrers. John Kynnersley was owner of Loxley eighteen Edward III [1234]. Thomas Kynnersley, twentysecond Charles I.; Craven Kynnersley, seven George II.; and Clement Kynnersley, ten George III., were sheriffs. An ancestor of the Kynnersley's was seated at Kynnersley Castle, Herefordshire, at the Conquest. There is a horn preserved at Loxley, with the proud name of " Robin Hood's Horn," which was formerly in the family of Ferrers, at Chartly. There is no particular reason given for its being Robin Hood's Horn, although it bears his initials; but from bearing three horse-shoes (two and one) it probably belonged to the Ferrars, and came into the family of Kynnersley by the marriage of Johanna, daughter of Thomas de Ferrers, to John de Kynnardesleye, through which marriage it is supposed Loxley also came into the possession of the Kynnersleys.
