DURANT, Thomas, of Padbury and Bourton, Bucks. and Salford, Beds.

Submitted by legacy on
Family and Education
s. of Richard Durant (d.c.1369) of Padbury and Bourton by his w. Alice. m. Alice,Cat. Archs. All Souls Coll. ed. Martin, 94, 100; CCR, 1369-74, p. 9. Browne Willis’s† speculation in Buckingham, 31, that Thomas Durant’s w. Alice (afterwards wife of Thomas More) was a da. of Isobel Fowler, sis. of John Barton I* and John Barton II*, arose from his confusion of the descent of the separate properties in Bourton owned by the Durants and the Bartons. Nor is the matter sufficiently clarified in VCH Bucks. iii. 485, where Alice’s first marriage is overlooked. s.p.

Notes

The MP is not to be confused with Thomas Durant, teller of the Receipt of the Exchequer c.1362-1398 and servant to Richard II (Beds. Hist. Rec. Soc. xxix. 36n) with whom he appears to have had no connexion of any sort.
