Research Notes:
Knt, of Twyford, Buckinghamshire, Helliden and Tansor, Northamptonshire, etc [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 1/31/2019-153154]
Knt [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v4p138]

of Twyford, co Buckingham, and Somerston, Fringford, and Cogges, co Oxford [Ref: Weis AR7 #42]

inherited 1/2 of Barony of Cogges from grandfather [Ref: Sanders Baronies p37]

inherited large estates from his maternal grandfather, Sir Thomas de Gardinis, namely the manorial estates at Somerton and Fringsford and the Coggs lands in Oxfordshire (which, with the messuage at Leisdon, co Kent, came down from the Arsic family), and the manor of Ixning (which came from the De la Haye family) [Ref: Moriarty Gifford p131]

1346: fought at battle of Crecy [Ref: Weis AR7 #42]

the claim in print [RD900 vol 2 p861] that Alice Giffard, wife of Sir John Anne, is possibly the daughter of her father's [Sir John Giffard] second wife, Alice de Montfort, is easily disproven [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 1/31/2019-153154]
