Pelham 1: Pelham of Brocklesby, Pelham of Laughton / Loughton, Pelham of Pelham, Pelham of Sandhurst, Pelham of Swineshead
The early generations are a reconciliation of somewhat contradictory web sites with BP1934. The Internet data is shown in italics..
William de Pelham
1. Walter de Pelham b 1248, d 1292

A Sir John Pelham d 1429, Constable of Pevensey Castle
BP1934 both Chichester & Yarborough mention Sir John and his parents and then move to "his lineal descendant" Sir William who m. Mary Carew & Mary Sandys. We suspect but are not at all certain that this Sir John may have been the Sir John father of Sir John & Catherine who is the first mentioned by Visitation. It appears that he had at least 3 marriages. In a note, TCP Zouche or La Zouche of Richard's Castle, of Mortimer, or of Ashby shows that 1 of them was Joan Bramshott but refers to L.F. Salzman's "The Early Heraldry of Pelham" not yet seen "For a discussion of Sir John Pelham's two known and other alleged wives, also of the legitimacy and parentage of his s., another Sir John".
