| Thomas is not mentioned by Visitation (Staffordshire) but we speculate that this Thomas, shown by Visitation (Leicestershire, 1619, 'Stanford') as 3rd son of a Thomas, was of this generation. That Visitation shows him as father of the following John, with the arms of this branch of the family being "Argent, three bars azure, on a canton or a fess, and in chief three mascles sable, in chief a mullet charged with a mullet for difference". | |||||||||||||||
