Sir Gervase de Clifton, Sheriff of Nottingham & Derbyshire - Pedigree Chart for the De Clifton Family

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifton_baronets

"The Clifton Baronetcy, of Clifton in the County of Nottinghamshire, was created in the Baronetage of England on 22 May 1611 for Sir Gervas Clifton, of Clifton Hall, Nottingham. This Clifton family took their name from the settlement on the Bank of the River Trent at Clifton, Nottinghamshire, which they made their home at the time of the Norman Conquest. The family was much involved in the events of its times. Several members of the family served from the 13th century as High Sheriff of the counties of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Sir John Clifton was slain fighting for the King at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1402. Sir Gervase Clifton was captured and beheaded following the Battle of Tewkesbury during the Wars of the Roses in 1471."

Private User, thank you for that additional info and the work you put into discovering more facts on those confusing lines.

So very true! :)
