• With this William, who died on August 14, 1369, the elder male line of Botiler of Wem expired. Wem and Hinstock were entailed on the heirs of his body, and so passed to his only daughter 'Elizabeth, who at the time of his death was aged 24 years and upwards.2 She conveyed the Barony of Wem to her husband, Robert de Ferrers'. Their eldest son, Robert de Ferrers, died in '1410, his mother Elizabeth still living'. He left two daughters and coheirs, Elizabeth born about 1393, and Mary, born about 1394. On the 'death of their Grandmother (June 19, 1411)', Elizabeth was wife of John son of Ralph Baron Greystock, and Mary was wife of Ralph son of Ralph Nevill, Earl of Westmoreland.3 The Barony of Wem is now in abeyance between the descendants of these two ladies.4

NOTES:

There are three distinct families by the name Boteler, (1) those which settled early in Ireland, the first of which was Theobald le Boteler, some of whose descendants took the anglicized name Butler; (2) the family of Boteler of Warrington in Lancashire; and (3) the family of Botiler, Boteler, Botiller of Wem in Shropshire, and of Oversley in Warwickshire. This particular family, of Wem and Oversley, appear to have been recorded most often as Botiler, and as such are shown with this spelling.

Baron by Writ.

I. 1375. 1.# Rorert Ferrers, a younger son of Robert 2nd Baron Ferrers of Chartley, having m. Elizabeth, dau. and sole heir of William III. Baron Boteler of Wemme, was summ. to Parl. as " Robert Ferrers de Wemme, Chev." from 28 Dec. 49 Edw. III. 1375, to 20 Oct. 3 Rich. II. 1379; ob. 1380. Robert Ferrers, his s. and h., died 1410, s. P. M., vita matris, without having been summ. to Parl., leaving Elizabeth, wife of John, son of Ralph Lord Greystock, a"t. 18 years, and Mary, wife of Ralph Nevill, younger son of Ralph Earl of Westmoreland, «t. 17 years, his daughters and coheirs. If this Barony be considered as a Barony created by the writ 28 Dec. 1375, it is in Abeyance between the descendants of these two daughters and coheirs; and such would also appear to be the case if the writ of 1375 were only an extension of the Barony of Boteler of Wemme, since Robert Ferrers, the father of the two daughters and coheirs, was the representative of his mother, whether she had or had not issue by her 2nd and 3rd husbands.— Vide Boteler of Wemme. The Barony is now in Abeyance between the heirs of Greystock and the heirs of Edward Lord de Clifford, who died 1832. Vide Clifford.
