Bridget Hussey

The Hussey Manuscript confirms the marriages of Sir Giles Hussey to Jane Pigot, and their son Thomas Hussey to Bridget Bowes, but mentions only child for Thomas and Bridget (Bowes) Hussey, a son John Hussey.

Thomas Hussey and Bridget Bowes had 2 other children - George Hussey who in turn had a son John Hussey, and Elizabeth Hussey who married Thomas Stydolf/Stydolph, of Norbury, Surrey as mentioned. Elizabeth Stydolf was the eventual heir general of her father Thomas Hussey. John Hussey, of Honington and Caythorpe, Lincolnshire, left a long and detailed will dated 14 Aug. 1583 and proved 5 Sep. 1587. It is clear that when he wrote this will that his brother George and his nephew John were dead; he named a distant cousin, Charles Hussey, jr., of Belton, Lincolnshire, as the male heir of his estates. not so sure, however, that you can rely on the Hussey Manuscript to conclude that Thomas Hussey and Bridget Bowes had only a single child John. It gives no source at all for this statement (and it's pretty uneven and unspecific in its use of citations in general). Although its title perhaps suggests an aura of antiquity, it's actually a compilation begun in 1941 by an American researcher. Without adequate support for its statements, I'd be hesitant to accept its conclusions at face value - especially since other sources do indicate other children for Thomas Hussey and Bridget Bowes (e.g., 1562-64 Lincolnshire visitation and Maddison's Lincolnshire Pedigrees).

Although Lord Jeffrey Amherst loses his Edward III descent through Anne Grey, he does have Plantagenet descents through his father.

Yes, very likely.

Although I'm not very confident about its success, I present the following possible line, based on the links beneath:
King Edward III
John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster = (3) Katherine Swynford
Joan Beaufort (legitimated) = (1) Robert Ferrers, Baron Boteler of Wemme
Elizabeth Ferrers = John Greystoke, 4th Lord Greystoke
Joan Greystoke = John Darcy (? Lord Darcy)
Joan Darcy = (1) ____ Beaumont or Beauchamp; (2) Sir Giles Daubeny
(by 2) William Daubeny = Alice Stourton

As you've already worked out, John, the above line fails at Joan Darcy. The Joan Darcy who was daughter of Joan Greystoke (c.1409-by 1487) and her first husband John Darcy of Temple Hurst (1404-1458), did marry a Beaumont - John Beaumont of Coleorton Hall (1428-1461) - but as he was killed at the battle of Towton, this is far too late chronologically for his widow to have been the first wife of Sir Giles Daubeney of South Petherton (1395-1446).
