Notes for Joan DE COCTON


I have given above nearly verbatim the account of the Cocton and Spine families
from Wrottesley of Wrottesley by the Right Honorable Major General
From: https://buist-keatch.org/buist/goring/17419.html

Sir George Wrottesley and from the Antiquities of Warwickshire by Sir William
Dugdale, and after a careful study of the descent given in both the above
authorities, and an examination of the charters and deeds at Coughton, the
Victoria History of Worcestershire, the Visitations of Warwickshire and
Oxford, Harl. Society publications, vols. V and VIII, I have come to the
conclusion that Joan, the daughter and one of the coheirs of Sir Simon de
Cocton, did not marry William de Spine, as stated by Sir William Dugdale. She
married (first) Hugh de Bruley, and (second) Hugh de Norfolk.

William de Spine, however, did marry Joan de Cocton, a daughter of Randulph de
Cocton alias de Kinewarton, the grandfather of Sir Simon de Cocton,
consequently she was an aunt of Sir Simon and not his daughter, as given in
all accounts of the family descent.

[Historical Account of the Throckmorton Family, p 66] 3

Joan married William [I] de la Spine of Coughton, Warwickshire, son of Roger
de la Spine and Unknown.1 (William [I] de la Spine of Coughton, Warwickshire
died after 1284 1.)
