William de Cameis: who may be assumed to have inherited Flockthorpe and Hardingham, with the advowson of the latter, as also the Manor of Cemeis in South Wales; witnessed as "William de Chames," a charter (6) of Ralph the son of Stephen, tempore King Henry(1100-35), granting Pethsage in his Manor of Winterbourne, Gloucestershire, to the monastery of St. Peter's Gloucester. Married a daughter of Robert Fitz Humphrey (7) whose family held large estates in Toppesfield and Gelham, Essex (7a) and who would appear to have been a connection of the Bec family, being heir to a Mabel de Bec; by this lady he appears to have acquired half a Knights fee in Tansour (7a), Northants, held of the Honor of Clare, with the alternate right of presentation to its church, and probably also a Manor in Toppesfield, Essex, likewise held of the Honor of Clare.
