"He was known as William Gascoigne of Harewood, Senior. In addition to the Gawthorpe estate (which he most likely inherited), he purchased the lands in Harewood from Robert de Insula de Rugemont in 1363. He also obtained settlement of lands at Harewood, Werrdeley (Weardley) and Weton (Weeton) to his son William in 1373.
"On his death in 1383 at Gawthorpe the family divided into two branches, the senior branch descending through his son William at Gawthorpe and the junior branch through his second son Nicholas who acquired the estate of Lasingcroft in 1392."[1]

The Visitations were a form of official census. One would think that they would take precedence over modern-day published website pages, but it appears that this families entries follow more closely to what has been published on web pages than what exists in historic records. As a matter of fact, most of what is shown in this WikiTree for the close ancestors and descendants of William and Elizabeth (Bolton) Gascoigne do not agree with the historic record published in The Visitations.
I have therefore adjusted the approximate birth years for John and Nicholas to reflect their birth order.
This does seem a long generation, and there is a case that there may be an extra generation, but the published genealogies do not support this, and we should follow the sources.
