FITZHARRY, Thomas (c.1411-c.1472), of Poston in Vowchurch, Herefs.

Family and Education
b. c. 1411, He was born after May 1410, when his father settled his lands in remainder on his two sons, Hugh and Richard: CCR, 1409-13, pp. 211-12. 3rd s. and event. h. of John ap Harry† (d.1420) of Poston by Elizabeth (d.1420), da. and h. of Sir Hugh Waterton (d.1410) of Eaton Tregoze in Foy, Herefs. The MP’s parentage has to be inferred. A lawsuit of 1457 names his mother as Elizabeth; other sources show that he inherited property in Herefs. that had once descended from Hen. IV’s chamberlain, Sir Hugh Waterton, to Sir Hugh’s da. and coh. Elizabeth, wife of John ap Harry. If, as seems almost certain, the two Elizabeths were the same, our MP must have been her son or grandson. She is known to have had at least two sons, the yr. of whom, Richard ap Harry, was born at Poston on 1 Apr. 1409: KB27/785, rot. 57d; CIPM, xxi. 578-9; xxiii. 598. Since Thomas first appears in the records in 1438 he cannot have been Richard’s son; he must, therefore, have been his yr. bro., in other words, the 3rd s. of Elizabeth Waterton. educ. G. Inn. m.
