John Ferris
(1547 - 1622)

***********
"The Visitation of the County of Gloucester in the Year 1623," Chitty and Phillpot (1885), p. 59-60, shows Roger Ferrers and Margerett Badger having 4 sons. The first was John who married Ellenor (daughter of Edward Ferrers of Badesley Clinton) and who was 76 in 1623 and therefore born in 1547. The second son was William, the third Roger and the fourth John of London. No explanation is given the Visitation for the naming of the fourth son as John, if the first son John was still living.
The History of Parliament identifies MP Edward Ferrers (1573-1639) as the son of Roger Ferrers (1516-1579) and Margaret Badger of Fiddington, Ashchurch, Gloucestershire. Further, it states that "[a]lthough Ferrers’ eldest brother married into the ancient family of the same name, seated for centuries at Baddesley Clinton, consanguinity cannot be proved."

She was the daughter of Edward Ferrers (b.betw. 1524 & 1527-d.1564) and Bridget Windsor. This Edward was an MP in 1553-54 and had been a ward of the King when his father died young.

In "Baddesley Clinton, its Manor, Church, and Hall" (1887) at p. 119, Rev. Henry Norris lists Edward's issue including Eleanor and states that "She became the wife of John Ferrers of Fiddington, co. Gloucester." This Edward was the only son of Henry Ferrers (d.1526) and Katherine Hampden. His grandfather, Edward (d.1535) had acquired Baddesley-Clinton when he married Constance Brome (d.1551). The marriage record appears below.
