Sir Thomas Chatworth had by his second wife, Isabel de Ayles-bury, five sons and as many daughters. The two elder sons, William and John, married the two co-heiresses of Sir Nicholas Bowet, but their sons dying without male heirs, Johanna, the only daughter of William, succeeded to Alfreton as heiress, and married John Ormond, Esq. In Alfreton. Church, Derbyshire, John Ormond and his wife are commemorated by a brass tablet, from which it appears that John Ormond died 1503, and the said Joan 1507. A lengthy account of Joan's ancestry is given as the "daughter and heir of William Chaworth, Knt."

John Ormond married, 1485, Joan Chaworth, born about 1463, only daughter of Sir William Chaworth of Wiverton. On the death of her childless cousin Sir Thomas Chaworth in 1483, Joan was heiress to the manors of Medbourne

(Leicestershire), Marnham (Nottinghamshire) and Alfreton. Sir Thomas had been married to John Ormond's first cousin Margaret Talbot daughter of the 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury and Elizabeth Butler, sister of the 5th, 6th and 7th Earls of Ormond). It was likely through the influence of his Talbot relations that John Ormond's marriage to the Chaworth heiress was secured.
