a.
Sir Henry Braylesford of Braylesford
Visitation reports that Sir Henry's wife was Jone Twyford. However, the site visitor who has commented on the Bassets of Blore (see Basset4) reports that Joan's mother was Joan Audley who had previously been married twice (to John Le Estrange then John de Hastang). We provisionally presume that Sir Henry married twice, as follows ...
m1. Jone Twyford (dau of Sir Robert Twyford, son of Sir John)
m2. Joan Audley (sister of Hugh de Audley of Blore)
There was also an Elizabeth (dsp 15.02.1746), dau of Sir Ambrose Crawley, who married Sir William
Stanhope of Ascot (b 20.07.1702, d 05.1772) but she appears not to be of this family.

Sarah Crowley probably of this generation, of this marriage
This Thomas, who is identifed by BEB1841 as having settled at Clapton, is "stated to have derived" from John Sutton who assumed the name of Dudley and was "father of Edmund Dudley, the notorious minister of Henry VII, and ancestor of the Dudleys, Earls of Warwick" who was "a descendant of" the John de Sutton who "was summoned to Parliament as Baron Sutton of Dudley in 1342." This is somewhat confused as the first John Sutton (father of Edmund) was the son of the one who was summoned to Parliament in 1342. As BEB1841 shows Thomas's grandson as having married in 1395, this does not leave many (if any) spare generations between Thomas and Lord John so it is perhaps understandable that various web sites show Thomas (d 1369) as a younger son of Lord John. We provisionally follow that connedion but think that, if it was so, he may have been illegitimate.

?? Dudley generation missed out by some web sites
A.
Richard
Dudley of Clopton called 'of Barnwell' by VCH which reports that the inherited the manor of Clapton (aka Clopton) from his father-in-law
m. (1395) Agnes or Joan Hotot (dau of Robert Hotot) called Joan by some web sites
BEB1841 jumps from this generation to Sir William, 1st Bart. Richard is the first Dudley mentioned by VCH which notes that the manor was being held in 1412 & 1428 by a John Scot, "presumably as a trustee, since Dudley afterwards enfeoffed other trustees, from whom his son and heir William, between 1467 and 1472 had difficulty in obtaining livery on coming of age." It is likely that the "Dudley" referred to was the following Richard. Much of the next 3 generations comes from various web sites but with the names of the squires being confirmed by VCH.
VCH reports that William succeeded his grandfather (his father's name being given by some web sites). VCH then reports the succession down to Edward (dspm) whose brother William was the 1st Baronet..
