John I de Cantilupe[16] (fl.1251) of Hempston Cauntelow (now Broadhempston)[17] near Totnes in Devon, who married Margaret Cumin, heiress of Snitterfield[18] in Warwickshire.

John's grand-daughter and eventual sole heiress was Eleanor de Cantilupe (d.post-1344), who before 1321 married Sir Thomas West[19] (d.1343), of Swallowcliffe, Wiltshire and Roughcombe Castle in Tisbury, Wiltshire, MP for Warwickshire in 1324;[20] by whom she was the grandmother of Thomas West, 1st Baron West (1365–1405), who married Joan la Warre, heiress of Baron La Warre, whose younger son was Reynold West, 3rd Baron West, 6th Baron La Warre (1395–1450).[21]

John de Cantilupe was the son of William of Cantilupe, Sheriff of Warwick and Leicester, 1201-4. Died 1238. [3]

A younger branch of the Cantilupes, of Aston-Cantilupe, commenced in the person of John, third son (according to Dugdale) of William de Cantilupe, lord of Aston-Cantilupe, and sheriff of the counties of Warwick, Leicester, Worcester, and Hereford, in the reign of king John and Henry III. [4]

He was the son of Sir William de Cantilou, High King's Steward and his wife Mecelin de Braci [1]

However, Douglas Richardson does not show John as a son of William. [5] and further research into parentage is warranted.
