Biography

Thomas Perrot (b ~1398; d 23 July 1474), Esquire of Istingston and Haroldston

Since Sir Thomas was already dead by the time the battle of Mortimer's Cross, during the Wars of The Roses, took place on 2 February 1461, this must be the Thomas Perrot listed in the battle roster. The Yorkists, led by Edward Mortimer, earl of March, defeated the Lancastrian forces led at the request of the queen, Margaret of Anjou, by Jasper Tudor, son of the earl of Pembroke. Mortimer´s Cross is located in the county of Herefordshire, on the border between Wales and England.^[1]
First married Janet/Joan, daughter of John Gwys (Wise/Guise), Esq.

• Son Sir William,
• Daughter Jane/Jonet, married John Elliott (b ~1450) of Erwer, Amroth, Pembrokeshire, Wales

Next married Isabella, daughter of Sir Henry Wogan (d 1475) of Cas-wis (Wiston), Pembrokeshire, Wales 1644- dispute with Priory of Haverfordwest, over services at church of Haroldston, resolved in his favor. 1645- is awarded lands in the Lordship of Haverford

• Son Mathew - probably the (illegitimate?) son who lived in Cheriton
• Son John - and his son John, moved to Woodstock and then Haverfordwest. The younger John had been said to have founded the branch in Herefordshire, but the discovery of the NWL 135 pedigree roll makes it clear that the John who moved to Herefordshire was the son of a William Perrot from Scotsborough. Instead, John of Woodstock is the most likely person to have given rise to one of the Perrot families of Northleigh. ^[2]
