LT. Thomas is confidently identified by Beltz with Sir Thomas de Ufford, who was elected a Knight of the Garter in 1360; (149) and it is certain, from the Wills of Robert and William, Earls of Suffolk, that Earl Robert had a son Thomas, who died without issue before his father, and left a Will. The Garter was at this period exclusively bestowed as the reward of military service, and therefore Sir Thomas must have been older than his brother William, who was scarcely 21 in 1360. Sir Thomas de Ufford was one of the brave companions of Sir Thomas Felton, when he was taken prisoner at Navarete on 3d April 1367 in the Spanish expedition of the Black Prince; (43) and it is suggested by Beltz that he was slain on this occasion. (-149) He married Elizabeth one of the ten daughters of Thomas Beauchamp 3d Earl of Warwick, and sister of Isabella Countess of Suffolk. (150) She died without issue before her parents, and was buried, according to Weever, with her husband in the Grayfriars at Norwich. (119)>
Genealogical memoirs of the extinct family of Chester of Chicheley
By Robert Edmond Chester- Waters
"Complete Peerage, 12 (1) (1953): 432 regarding
Sir Thomas de Ufford. In the Suffolk account, the following
information regarding Thomas is tucked away in footnote i on that
page:
"Thomas is said to have married Elizabeth [Beauchamp], sister of [his
brother] William's 2nd wife (Waters, op. cit., vol. i, page 330,
citing Nichols, Topog. and Geneal., vol. ii, pp. 273, 276." END OF
QUOTE.
My research indicates that Sir Thomas de Ufford was born 22 July 1332
[see Ellis, Chronica Johannis de Oxenedes (Rolls Ser. 13) (1859):
437]. He married Elizabeth de Beauchamp, daughter of Thomas de
Beauchamp, K.G., 11th Earl of Warwick, by Katherine, daughter of Roger
de Mortimer, Knt., 1st Earl of March. They had no issue. In 1354-6
the king paid 3s. 6d. for wine sent to him [see MSS. of the
Corporations of Southampton & Lynn (Hist. MSS Comm. 11th Rpt., App.,
Pt. III) (1887): 219]. On his wife’s Elizabeth’s death, she was
initially buried at Campsey Priory, Suffolk, but on 19 June 1362, her
body was exhumed and reburied at Grey Friars, Ipswich, Suffolk [see
Gransden, Legends, Traditions & Hist. in Medieval England (1992): 284-
285; Weever, Ancient Funerall Monuments (1767): 487]. In 1367, by
command of Edward the Black Prince, he went on an expedition through
Navarre into Spain. SIR THOMAS DE UFFORD was taken prisoner at
Navarete 3 April 1367; it is suggested by Beltz that he was slain on
this occasion. Whatever the outcome, he died testate before 29 June
1368 (date of his father’s will) [see Beltz, Mems. of the Order of the
Garter (1841): 127-129 (biog. of Sir Thomas Ufford); Top. & Gen. 2
(1853): 271-277 (Ufford ped.); Waters, Chester of Chicheley 1 (1878):
327-336].
That Sir Thomas de Ufford was his father's son and heir apparent in
1362, is proven by the record of his wife's reburial which took place
in that year [see Gransden, Legends, Traditions & Hist. in Medieval
England (1992): 284-285]. There Sir Thomas de Ufford is specifically
styled "heredis et filii comitis Suffolchie." This record published
by Gransden may be viewed at the following weblink:

Weever, Ancient Funerall Monuments (1767): 487 specically states that
Sir Thomas de Ufford's wife, Elizabeth, was "daughter of the earl of
Warwick." I presume he took his information from her monumental
inscription then in existence. For Weever, see the following
weblink:
pg. 487:
http://books.google.com/books?id=Um0DAAAAYAAJ&pg=PR13&dq=Weever+Ancient+Funeral+Monuments&hl=en&ei=t1cvTOSiMsH7lwfYr7m8CQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CEQQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false
Additional evidence of Elizabeth's marriage is found in ancient
Beauchamp family windows of St. Mary's, Warwick, which windows record
the arms of the various husbands of the daughters of Thomas de
Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. These windows are mentioned in passing in
Complete Peerage, 12 (2) (1959): 374, footnote h. The evidence of the
Beauchamp windows and Thomas de Ufford's marriage is further discussed
in Topgrapher and Genealogist, 2 (1853): 276, which discussion may be
viewed at the following weblink:
http://books.google.com/books?id=EKhWAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA276&dq=beauchamp+windows+Ufford&hl=en&ei=tlMvTLvREMH_lgfQ8cWSCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=beauchamp%20windows%20Ufford&f=false
The Beauchamp windows are also discussed in Stapleton, De Antiquis
Legibus Liber: Cronica Maiorum et Vicecomitum Londoniarum (Camden Soc.
34) (1846): ccxxxv, which may be viewed at the following weblink:
http://books.google.com/books?id=49k_AAAAcAAJ&pg=PR235&dq=beauchamp+windows+Ufford&hl=en&ei=tlMvTLvREMH_lgfQ8cWSCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CEcQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=beauchamp%20windows%20Ufford&f=false
Stapleton falls into Dugdale's error of morphing Elizabeth de
Beauchamp, wife of Sir Thomas de Ufford, with her sister, Isabel de
Beauchamp, wife of Sir Thomas de Ufford's younger brother, William de
Ufford, 2nd Earl of Suffolk. In actuality, two Beauchamp sisters
married two Ufford brothers."
