Elizabeth de Vernon is my 13th great-grandmother. I would like to see information on her too, and also on Henry de Vernon's mother, Margaret Swynfen. Thanks for sharing! Grace Smith Gateway Ancestors: Robert Abell of Massachusetts and Edward Raynsford of Massachusetts
Grace, The monumental brass of Sir William Vernon and Margaret Swynfen is located in Tong Church, Shropshire. It was placed there in 1467 which means she had died by that time. Pictures of the brass are available on the Internet, the best is at: http://www.mbs-brasses.co.uk/pic_lib/Tong_Brass.htm. She was also the heiress of Sir Richard Pype and is sometimes incorrectly called Margaret Pype. She was the daughter of William Swynfen (Swinfin) of Lichfield and Jocosa Durvassal (als: Spernor) [AR7:56A][BP (MCMLXIII):2467][PA2:350] Jim Grace Bliss Smith wrote: >Elizabeth de Vernon is my 13th great-grandmother.
