| The above all comes from Visitation. We have doubts about its reliabilty. BE1883 starts with the following Robert albeit without identifying the wives of the next 2 generations. TCP Hoo supports the following descent. | |||||||||||||||

| HOOS MANOR or HOO LAND or HOLAND appears to have consisted of two tenements, each of a carucate in extent, belonging to the Hoo family; one in Wheathampstead, which was eventually included with the Lamer property, and the other in Harpenden, which belongs to the Rothamsted estate. Robert de Hoo received a grant of free warren over his lands in Harpenden in 1292, fn. 96 and we find that Sir Robert de Hoo succeeded to these tenements on the death of John de Hoo in 1302, fn. 97 conveying them, two years later, to Alexander his son. fn. 98 In 1337 Sir Thomas de Hoo, son of Alexander, received a grant of free warren over his lands in Wheathampstead. fn. 99 The carucate, which eventually went with the Lamer estate, passed in the main line of the Hoo family till it came to Thomas, Lord Hoo, and went by his daughter and co-heir, Eleanor, wife of Sir James Carew, to the Carews of Beddington, fn. 100 from which time it followed the same descent as the manor of Lamer. The other carucate was sold, it would seem, by Sir Thomas de Hoo, in 1405, to Stephen Spelman, mercer of London, fn. 101 and in 1461 Thomas Wynter conveyed it, as formerly belonging to Stephen Spelman, to Thomas Tyrrell. fn. 102 Later it seems to have passed to the family of Eden, and was sold by Richard Eden, in 1540, to Edmund Bardolph, and so followed the descent of the manor of Rothamsted. fn. 103 From: 'Wheathampstead with Harpenden: Manors', A History of the County of Hertford: volume 2 1908, pp. 297-309.

| BE1883 shows that Thomas, son of Sir William and Alice, was the Thomas who became Lord of Hoo and Hastings and married Elizabeth Felton then Elizabeth Wichingham. TCP and Visitation show that that was his grandson Thomas, providing an intervening generation ... | |||||||||||||||

| TCP reports that this Thomas either dsp or dspm. However, Visitation which reports that he died in 1480 shows him with the following family. Some caution with this connection is recommended. It is possible that it is not exact but 'not far off': for example, it is possible that Thomas had a daughter whose husband or son took the name Hoo and was one of the undermentioned Thomases. | |||||||||||||||
