Was his mother Elizabeth de Standish

The line of descent would be:

• 1) William Ferrers, Lord of Groby (1372-1445) to his third son
• 2) John Ferrers of St. Albans (b. circa 1398-1410; died after 1455) to his second son

Notes

The Book of Benefactors of the Abbey records that John Ferrers, seneschal to Henry, Earl of Warwick, was admitted to the fraternity, and gave 10s. of annual rent, arising out of four tofts, situate in New-lane, in St. Peter's parish. The entry, however, is undated. His wife, Agatha, was a daughter of Adrian Brekespere, of Langley.
