Notes about Thomas Giffard

"From an inquisition taken at Oxford, 23 Dec, 34 Edward III [1360], it appears that Thomas Giffard gad an elder brother, John, who was living at that date, but who must have died s.p. bef. 11 Mar, 43 Edward III [1368-69], as Thomas Giffard, aged twenty-five years and more, was then found to be the heir of his father.
"On 23 Dec 1360, Thomas's father, John, settled upon himself and his wife Lucy, for the term of their lives, his manors of Somerton and Feringford, in Oxfordshire, with 30s rent in Cogges, Oxfordshire, with remainder to their son Thomas and his issue, and the rent to Thomas and Elizabeth de Missenden and their issue, which otherwise ought to revert to John, eldest son of the said John.
"On 22 Aug 1374, Sir Thomas Giffard, with his wife Margery, enfeoffed Nicholas Twyford of London, goldsmith, with a moiety of the manor of Ixning, co. Suffolk.
"Two inquisitions post mortem show holdings of Sir Thomas Giffard, Knight, at the time of his death, in Kent and in Oxfordshire respectively, and give Roger Giffard, aged twenty-six (or twenty-seven) years and more as his son and heir." --NEHGR 74:231-234.
