Esq, of Middle Claydon, co Bucks [Ref: Moriarty Gifford p136]
Esq [Ref: Weis AR7 #43]

The Visitation of Northamptonshire states that Roger Gifford of Middle Claydon was son of Thomas Gifford of Twyford, co Bucks (will dated 1511), but the Harleian pedigree in the printed Visitation of Oxfordshire ald also the pedigree of the Giffords of Middle Claydon in the Heralds' College make him the son of John and Agnes Gifford and therefore a brother of Thomas. The latter statement is clearly the correct one. Thomas Gifford, in his will, dated 10 Oct 1511, mentions only one son, Thomas, and his inquisition post mortem, of 10 Nov 1511, shows that this Thomas, the heir, was then aged thirty years and more, and therefore was born about 1481. The inquisition post mortem of Roger Gifford of Middle Claydon, of 22 Nov 1543, shows that John Gifford Esq, his son and heir, was then aged fifty years and more and therefore was born about 1493. Thomas and Roger were therefore contemporaries. Moreover, Thomas Gifford, son of Thomas, in his will dated 2 Nov 1550, calls Roger's sons, George, William, Ralph, and John, his cousins; and in Aug 1538 in a complaint of injuries done to him by Roger Gifford and his sons, John, George, Ralph, William, and Nicholas, he calls them his kinsmen. [Ref: Moriarty Gifford p136]

will dated 24 Sep 1538, mentions his wife Mary, his sons John (eldest son), George (second son), Rauffe (third son), William (fourth son), and Nycholas (youngest son), and provides for the occupation of the manor of Middle Claydon by his sons. [Ref: Moriarty Gifford p136]
