John (Sir), of Bracewell; knighted by 1349, married Katherine, daughter of Sir Robert Sherburne, and had [Sir Richard], with a younger son. [Burke's Peerage]
According to Burke's Peerage all of the following are wrong. John & Katherine are parents of Richard, while John & Margaret de Holand are parents of this John and grandparents of Richard. See notes under mother Margaret de Holand about why I think Burke's may be wrong and the sources below correct.
