  • Thomas Hoo, 1st Baron Hoo and Hastings KG (ca. 1396-1455) was a Knight of the Garter and English courtier.
  • Thomas was the son of Sir Thomas Hoo (ca. 1370 – Luton Hoo, Bedfordshire, 23 August 1420) and wife (m. 1395) Eleanor de Felton (Litcham, Norfolk, 1378 – 8 August 1400). He succeeded his father in 1420, inheriting the family's ancestral home of Luton Hoo in Bedfordshire as well as Mulbarton, Norfolk and other estates. He fought for Henry VI of England in France, and for his services was made, first Keeper of the Seals, then Chancellor of France. In 1439, he was granted the castle, lordship and honour of Hastings, and in 1445 elected Knight of the Garter. Two years later he was created Baron of Hoo and Hastings.
  • Lord Hoo died 13 February 1454/5. The barony of Hoo and Hastings become extinct at his death, and his properties passed to his four daughters and his half-brother, Sir Thomas Hoo, born 1416 to his father's second wife, Elizabeth de Etchyngham. The brothers are interred together in the Dacre Tomb at Herstmonceux All Saints Church in Sussex.
  • Hoo married firstly, before 1 July 1428, Elizabeth Wychingham, daughter of Nicholas Wychingham, esquire, of Wichingham, Norfolk, by whom he had a daughter, Anne Hoo (born c.1448), who married Sir Geoffrey Boleyn, mercer and Lord Mayor of London.[1]
  • He married, secondly, before 1445, Eleanor Welles, daughter of Lionel de Welles, 6th Baron Welles, and his first wife, Joan Waterton, by whom he had three daughters:[1]
    • Anne Hoo, who married firstly Roger Copley (d. before 1488), esquire, of London and Roughey in Horsham, Sussex, by whom she had three sons and six daughters; secondly, William Greystoke, gentleman, and thirdly Sir Thomas Fiennes.[2]
    • Eleanor Hoo, who married James Carew of Beddington.[citation needed]
    • Elizabeth Hoo, who married firstly Thomas Masingbeard, and secondly Sir John Devenish.[2]

              • m. Beatrix (d 28.05.1314, dau of Alexander, lord of Andevill in Normandy)
              • BE1883 starts with the following Robert albeit without identifying the wives of the next 2 generations. TCP (Hoo) supports the following descent.
                • (i) Robert de Hoo of Hoo, Knebbeworth, etc. - continued below
                • m. Hawise FitzWarin (d 02.09.1344, dau of Sir Fulk FitzWarin)
  • Robert de Hoo of Hoo, Knebbeworth, etc. (d by 1339 (1342?), possibly 01.11.1311) - continued above
  • m. Hawise FitzWarin (d 02.09.1344, dau of Sir Fulk FitzWarin)
    • 1. Sir Thomas Hoo of Hoo (d 28.09.1380)

      • A. Sir William Hoo of Hoo (d 22.11.1410, 2nd son)
      • m. Alice St. Maur (d 10.10.1456, dau of Sir Thomas St. Maur, or St. Omer, by Pernel (Jane), dau of Nicholas Malmayns of Ockley)
      • BE1883 shows that Thomas, son of Sir William and Alice, was the Thomas who became Lord of Hoo and Hastings and married Elizabeth Felton then Elizabeth Wichingham. TCP and Visitation show that that was his grandson Thomas, providing an intervening generation ...
        • i. Sir Thomas Hoo of Luton Hoo, etc. (d 23.08.1420)
        • m1. (by 02.1394/5) Eleanor Felton (dau of Sir Thomas de Felton)
        • Visitation appears to confuse the marriages over this and the next generation. Except as noted below, we follow TCP.
          • a. Sir Thomas Hoo of Luton Hoo, etc., Lord Hoo of Hoo and Hastings (d 13.02.1454/5)
          • m1. Elizabeth Wychingham (dau of Nicholas Wynchingham of Wynchingham)
            • (1) Anne Hoo (b by 1425)
            • m. Geoffrey Boleyn, Lord Mayor of London (d 1471)
          • m2. Eleanor Welles (dau of Lionel Welles, Lord Welles)
            • (2) Anne Hoo (b c1446)
            • m. Sir Roger Copley
            • (3) Eleanor Hoo (b c1448)
            • m1. Thomas Echingham (dsp)
            • m2. (by 1468) Sir James Carew of Beddington
            • (4) Elizabeth Hoo (b c1450)
            • m1. Thomas Massingberd
            • m2. Sir John Devenish of Hellingleigh
        • m2. Elizabeth Etchingham (dau of William de Etchingham)
          • b. Thomas Hoo (dsp or dspm 08.10.1486)
          • TCP reports that this Thomas either dsp or dspm. However, Visitation (which reports that he died in 1480) shows him with the following family. Some caution with this connection is recommended. It is possible that it is not exact but 'not far off': for example, it is possible that Thomas had a daughter whose husband or son took the name Hoo and was one of the undermentioned Thomases.
          • m. _ Norwood
            • (1) Thomas Hoo of Hoo (d 20.03.1516)
            • m. Maude Bardolph (dau of Edmond Bardolph)
              • (A) Thomas Hoo of Hoo (d 11.06.1551)
              • m. _ Newnham (dau of John Newman or Newnham of Hatfield)
                • (i) Thomas Hoo of Hoo
                • m. Lucy Brockett (sister of Sir John Brockett)
                  • (a) Thomas (or Nicholas) Hoo (of Hoo)
                  • Visitation ends with this generation. It is a presumption that Thomas (or his younger brother Nicholas) was father of the following William whose family details come from BEB1841 (Bickley of Attleborough).
                    • ((1)) William Hoo of the Hoo possibly of this generation
                    • m. Mary Bickley (dau of Sir Francis Bickley, 1st Bart of Attleburgh)
                      • ((A)) Thomas Hoo of the Hoo (dsp)
                      • ((B)) Susannah Hoo (bpt 26.12.1639, d 11.06.1673)
                      • m. (01.05.1655) Sir Jonathan Keate, 1st Bart of The Hoo (d 1700)
                      • BEB1841 reports that Susannah was "in a direct line from the Lord of Hastings and Hoo, of whose famiy she was the heir general, and the sole inheritrix of those ancient posessions that remained to the barony; the Lord, her ancestor ...". Note that we do not show Susannah as a direct descendant of Lord Hoo but of his half-brother.
                  • (b) Margaret Hoo
                  • m. George Asden
                  • (c) Grace Hoo
                  • m. Francis Markham
