Hi all,
For anyone who is interested, I have briefly traced the genealogy of the family of Everingham of Rockley and Stainborough down to the end of the 15th century. Any comments, corrections or additions would be appreciated.

Do you know the relationship of Henry Everingham of Withybrook, MP for Warwickshire 1459 within this family? HP suggests a brother of Sir Thomas; both were Lancastrians.

A question on the heraldry of this family; the original arms were gules a lion rampant vaire; yet Thomas bore Birkin (argent a fesse azure) quartering Bugge for his wife.
There are also Everinghams of Rockley (Sir Adam and John)listed in Foster's Feudal Coats of arms who bore quarterly argent and sable a baston gules. What evidence do you have for these different arms?

David

Dear Mr. Watson,
Thank you so much for your posts (especially on Yorkshire subjects) on
Gen-Med and your great blogspot. I have learned much from them even when
the people mentioned are not my relations. But it's even better when they
are!

The article for Thomas Everingham in Wedgewood's History of Parliament, 1439-1509, pp. 307-8 conflates the two Thomases, father and son, but is probably correct in identifying Henry Everingham of Withybrook as a brother of Thomas Everingham, [junior], although I can't find any contemporary record where they are identified as brothers.
Where did you find the arms of Thomas Everingham of Newhall?
Regards,
John

The Everinghams are a good example of the way arms went with land rather than simply following descent. They also show how attributing arms to individuals is not an exact science.
There is no evidence for any arms borne by Robert I de Everingham of Everingham (d.1246). But his wife's brother, Thomas de Birkin of Birkin and Laxton (d.s.p. 1230), bore '[argent,] a fess [azure], a label [gules]'[1] Robert I had two sons, Adam I of Everingham and Laxton (d.1280) and John I of Birkin (d. before 1285), neither of whom left any evidence of arms. However in the following generation, Adam of Birkin (d.1318) apparently bore 'argent, a fess and label azure'.[2] But three of the next four generations after Adam all bore 'argent, a fess azure, a label gules'.[3]
According to John Watson's latest report (many thanks, John), Adam I of Laxton had at least two sons, Robert II of Laxton (d.1287) who probably bore 'gules, a lion rampant vair',[4] and John of Rockley (d.1302) who married Margaret, dau of Richard Ducket of Fillingham and Ruskington. We have to guess that Richard Ducket may have borne 'quarterly argent and sable, a bend gules'.[5] But we know that John and Margaret's son, Adam of Rockley (d.1379), bore these arms.[6]
I have relied on one of John Watson's posts - again - for 'Everingham of Birkin', SGM, 26 Nov 2009.

Freezywater lists John Everingham of Birkin bearing argent a fesse azure a label of 5 points gules; Thomas of Newhall the same with " a label gules".
FW are by no means reliable, but I assume the cadet branches adopted the Birkin arms after acquiring that manor through an heiress. I can't explain the origin of the argent/sable quartered arms listed by Foster.
I wonder if you can place another Sir Thomas Everingham "Knight of the North", a soldier who fought in the Netherlands in the 1470s, for whom I find several references; could he be a younger son of Thomas of Newhall?

Peter, thanks for identifying the Duket arms, I can assume from the evidence that these were discarded before the 15th century for a variant on Birkin, but what difference did the Stainborough branch use? Strange if they still used the arms of Birkin without holding that estate.

There were three branches of the Everingham family, as explained by John Watson, and each had their own coat of arms: Everingham of Everingham and Laxton bore 'gules, a lion rampant vair', Everingham of Birkin bore 'argent, a fess azure, a label gules', and Everingham of Rockley and Stainborough (that is Adam d.1379 if no one else) bore 'quarterly argent and sable, a bend gules'. I have not come across any other Everingham arms.
