    • “RoyalAncestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,”Douglas Richardson (2013): “JOHN DE MOHUN, son and heir apparent. He married after 1245 JOAN DE FERRERS, 5th daughter of William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby, by his 1st wife, Sibyl, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, \b3 1. John and \b3 2. Robert. Joan was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke. \b3 JOHN DE MOHUN died in Gascony in 1254. His body was buried in Bruton Priory, Somerset, and his heart buried at Newenham Abbey, Devon.

      Greywelle. The manor sometime belonged to a certain Reginald de Mohun, to him and his heirs in fee, who gave it to William, his younger son, and the heirs of his body. The said William had two daughters, viz-Mary and Eleanor was espoused to one John de Carru and they had a son, Nicholas, who died without issue. The other daughter Mary was espoused To John Meryet, and had a son Henry, who died without issue. Through such failure of issue, the manor ought to revert to one John de Mohun as kingsman and heir of the said Reginald. From the said Reginald the right of reversion of the said manor descended to John his son and heir, and from him to John his son, and from the said John son of John son of John to John his son and heir who now claims, he is aged 40 years and more.\cb3 Source: Southampton inquisition for John Meriet 1327.
