enemies. 08. Sir John De Warrenne,

Poynton, Cheshire, England. He married
Cicely
de Eton, daughter
of Sir Nicholas de Eton, divorced from her first husband, Sir John
Arderne, in 1332. It was through this marriage that Poynton came into
the Warren family. Poynton anciently called Ponynton, is omitted in
Domesday Book. It was probably included at the period of the survey in
some part of the Earl's demesne in this hundred (Macclesfield). After a
grant of Poynton to the family of Poutrell, it passed to the Stokeports,
when the place from which they derived their name was erected into a
barony. In the reign of Edward III, it passed with the barony of Stokeport
to Sir John Warren, Knight, in right of his mother Cicely, daughter
of Sir Nicholas Eton, wife of above Sir Edward Warren. Cicely's mother
was Joan de Stokeport, eldest daughter of Sir Richard Stokeport, and
finally sole heiress. She was aged 2 and one-half years 20th of Edward I,
1292. 10. John Warren,

given under Stockport, next heir to Isabel, daughter of Sir Richard de
Eton, nephew of his mother Cicely, and at this time was aged 26 years
when he succeeded to his estates, and his relationship was further attested
by two certificates. In the same year, by the name of John, son of Sir
Edward de Garreyn, he gave security to the Earl's escheator to answer for
the issues of his Cheshire estates. By his wife Margaret
Stafford, daughter and
heiress of Sir John Stafford of Wickham (she remarried John Mainwaring
of Over Poever) he had issue Margaret and Nicholas. Margaret, his
widow, held the manors of Skegton, Boton, Rotley, Plumpton, etc., for life.
He died in 1387. Note: No
connection was found from Margaret Stafford to my other Stafford line. 11. Nicholas Warren,
[1]
son of John and
Margaret, heir to his father, born abt. 1379 was aged 14 years and upwards,
