[74, No 23862, p. 215]Notes for Eustace de Whitney
It looks like he is the Eustace who m. Eliz de Freville. See Doug Richardson on 24 Oct 2003, quoting from the register of Godfrey Giffard, bishop of Worcester:
"Date: 1301
"Agreement made on 5 June, 29 Edward I. [1301], before the bishop, between Sir Alexander de Frevylle and Eustace de Wyteneye, touching the marriage between the said Eustace and Elizabeth, daughter of the said Alexander. Various settlements of lands, &c. Witnesses: Sir Robert de Chaundos, the lady Joan de Friville, mother of the lady, and
John de Stan', parson of Rippel'."
Date: 1301: "Memorandum of a bond by the bishop for 66l. 13s. 4d., to Eustace de Whyteneye, husband of Elizabeth de Frevyll, upon his marriage."). END OF QUOTE.
“The above record indicates that Eustace de Whitney was married about 5 June 1301 to Elizabeth de Freville, daughter of Sir Alexander de Freville (died 1328), of Tarrington, co. Hereford, by his wife, Joan de Cromwell. Bishop Giffard was evidently interested in Elizabeth de Freville's marriage, as he was the maternal uncle of Elizabeth's father, Sir Alexander de Freville.
“If anyone descends from the Whitney family, I'd appreciate it if they would post what particulars they have regarding this Eustace de Whitney. Many newsgroup posters descend from Elizabeth de Freville's brother, Baldwin de Freville, Knt., and from her sister, Margaret (wife of Henry de Wilington). Elizabeth de Freville and her siblings possess Carolingian ancestry through their mother, Joan de Cromwell's Marmion ancestry."
Eustace and his co-brother-in-law, Henry Willington, occur on the same generations of Dorothea Poyntz's ancestors, making this suggestion plausible.
