The Staffordshire Record Society edition of Staffordshire Visitations lists one other son of Thomas's first marriage: Humphrey.[5] So does the 1812 edition of Collins's Peerage.[18] Humphrey was Thomas's grandson Humphrey Stanley-503, son of Thomas's son John. The mistake is corrected in a footnote to Thomas Harwood's edition of Erdeswicke's Survey of Staffordshire.[19] Humphrey is shown as Thomas's grandson in the Harleian Society edition of the 1619 Visitation of Warwick.[7]
