Family
notes:
·
There is evidence that Agnes is not the mother
of Hawise. Hawise’s marriage to John de Ferrers, who would then be her 1st
cousin, has liturgical evidence unsupportive of Agnes being her mother. And,
after the death of Robert, custody of Hawise was given to Cecily, her paternal
grandmother.

Manors (Somerset Rec. Soc. Extra Ser. 1) (1931): 381–382 cites a deed in which
Agnes de Muscegros, “lady of Chinnoc,” describes herself as daughter of
Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby).
