- . . . . this John Wynnesbury was Lord, not only of Donington, but also of Humphreston, . . . . He had issue a sole daughter and heir, Margery, who became the wife of Sir Fulke Springsaux, Sprenchose, Sprengehos, Sprencheaux, or Springhose, for so is the name variously written. This Sir Fulke was born in 1420, was Sheriff of Shropshire in 1447, and the name appears in 1453. . . . He left four daughters his co-heirs, married to William Acton of Aldenham, William Sandford of the Lee, near Whitchurch, . . . , ____ Tyndale, and Sir William Leighton, a younger son of John Leighton . . . Here however, we are met by another difficulty, since Sir Fulke Sprencheaux is called son of Sir Nicholas Sprencheaux, Lord of Plash and Donington, and this is confirmed by Harln. MSS., 1,982 and 1,396, which, however, mention a sister of Fulke, who became wife of John Midleton. If then Sir Nicholas Sprencheaux were Lord of Donington, it is not very evident how that Manor could come into the family through his daughter-in-law, Margery, nee Wynnesbury. By a deed dated at Glazeley 23rd April, 19 Edward IV. (1479), Dame Margery Springseaux, daughter and heir of John Weynnesbury, in her widowhood grants to her daughters and heirs, Margery Lee, Mary Springseaux, Margaret Tyndale, and Sibilla Sandford, all her Lordships of Glazeley, Madle, Wynnesbury, Plash, Didston, Heyghley, Wyntree, Espes, Dunkshull, . . . . .

- We must now pass on to the issue of Sir Fulke Sprencheaux and his wife, which consisted of four daughters and co-heirs; 1. Margery, 2. Margaret, 3. Sybilla, born 1452, and 4. Mary, born 1558, all of whom are mentioned in their mother's Deed of 1479, though apparently all were then married save Mary. Margery was the wife of Richard Lee of Langley, son of Ralph, by Isabella, daughter of James Ridley, son of Robert of Langley and Petronilla, his wife, son of Robert, by Joan, or Johanna, daughter and heir of Edward, son

- of Sir Nicholas Burnell of Acton Burnell. Robert Lee was eldest son of another Robert Lee, by Margaret, heiress of Thomas Astley of Nordley, Co. Salop, son of Sir John Lee, son of another Sir John Lee, by Matilda, daughter of Henry de Erdington, Co. Warwick, son of Reginald Lee, son of Thomas Lee, by Petronilla, daughter of Sir Thomas Corbet, Knight, son of Sir John, 26 Edward I., son of Reginald, son of Hugo de Le or Lega. Such is the pedigree as given in the Visitation of 1623, . . .
