  • Two sons only are mentioned as the issue of Thomas and Margaret Bernard — viz. John and Thomas. .... There is some difficulty about the age of John Bernard, who was apparently the elder brother of Thomas, but not necessarily, although he succeeded to Abington. .... John is described as twenty-eight the year after his father died, that is in 1465 ; his brother had then been a vicar sixteen years. Of Thomas nothing more is related ; either he was of too devotional a character to seek for preferment, or else he died too young to have

  • Sir John Bernard left five sons :
  • 1. John, who married a Northamptonshire heiress, and succeeded to Abington. He will be noticed in the next chapter.
  • 2. Thomas, who migrated to Gloucestershire, where he was killed 3 in the fifteenth year of Edward IV. (1475-6) ;

  • the pedigree which records this fact does not state whether by accident or design, whether in a public or private feud.
  • 3. His next brother, Francis,1 according to the same account, also went to Gloucestershire ; apparently there must have been property to look after, and he became Thomas's successor there. He is said to have founded a line of Bernards at Upton-on-Severn.
  • 4. Eustace entered into Holy Orders and became a person of some importance.2 .... etc.

  • JOHN BERNARD, eldest son of Sir John and Margaret Lady Bernard, had the good fortune to marry Margaret Daundelyn,1 who is styled in the 'County History' heir of her father, William, and her grandfather, John Daundelyn, of Doddington and Earl's Barton. In the 'Visitation of Northamptonshire' she is called heir of her father and of William Daundelyn, a cousin. The two accounts probably mean the same thing — namely, that Margaret was the last of her branch of the Daundelyns, and inherited all, or nearly all, the family property. .... etc.

  • .... John Bernard died on August 20, 1508, shortly before King Henry VII., who died in the following year. When his affairs were wound up his wife, Margaret, is mentioned as deceased. This probably means that she died before him, aged about thirty-five; he must have been ten or more years older.
