Notes for Sir Thomas Enfield
Barrington family history has him to be "Thomas" Enfield of High Laver while the Visitation of Essex 1558 for both Barrington and Josselyn has him to be "Richard".
The Barrington Family History includes this vital evidence that Thomas and Richard were brothers and that Thomas was the ancestor:
"There is a deed dated July 26th in the 16th year of King Edward the Third, from Thomas Enfield son of the later Sir John Enfield, Knight, by which all his right in and claim to, lands and tenements with all things belonging to them in Hatfield regis, Matching, White Rothing and Rothing Abbess. (On the back of this deed, Mr Micklefield has written a memorandum in part illegible, stating that his father-in-law Thomas Barrington had all the lands and tenements therein named in right of his mother Alice, who was heir to her grandfather Thomas Enfield and his brother Richard. John Battail the brother of Alice went on a pilgribage to Jerusalem..."
