| i. | Adeline de Watone | ||||||||||||||
| m(1). William de Heriz (a 1176) | |||||||||||||||
| m2. Adam de Newmarche | |||||||||||||||
| This 2nd marriage is probably not right. TCP (Newmarch) mentions Adeline and her parents (Robert de Waddon & Beatrice) and her husband (William de Heriz) but suggests that the Newmarch family was in fact descended from an Adam, son of Sir William de Waddon by the heiress of Novo Foro (i.e. Novo Mercato, later Newmarch) with Adam taking his designation from his inheritance from his mother's family. It is thought very likely that Sir William de Waddon was the same person as the Sir William de Watone shown above. However, it is not known if the heiress of Novo Foro was mother not only of Adam de Novo Foro but also of Robert de Watone and the undermentioned Walter. This will be reviewed in due course. | |||||||||||||||
