  A. Sir Alexander de Markham, Constable of the Castle of Nottingham (a temp Henry II who r. 1154-1189)
  The sources disagree on various details of the next few generations. Visitation names Sir Alexander's son as John, father (by Issabell) of Robert of Markham (father of 3 daughters), John (father of Robert, father of the John who married Joane Bothomsell) and Richard (dsp). BEB1841 identifies Sir Alexander's son as Alexander, grandfather of the John who married Joan Bothomsell. Commoners identifies Sir Alexander's son as Sir Richard father, by Cecilia Lexington, of Robert, father of the John who married Joan Bothomsell. We follow the above-mentioned article by Rev. A.E. Briggs, adding various details from Visitation.
