Research Notes
The wife of his son Adam is named in this source as Jueta de Arches, which is different from what is shown here and indicates that this family needs further research. I am adding a maintenance category, and also placing a note on his son's profile. Farrer, William. Early Yorkshire Charters. Edinburgh: Ballantyne, Hanson, & Co. (1915), vol. 2, pp. 11-12.
