"Thorns among the roses" Holly Forrest Tamer holly_tamer@@yahoo.com (who cites: "Complete Peerage of England Scotland Ireland Great Britain and the United Kingdom" by G.E. Cokayne, Sutton Publishing Ltd, 2000 and "Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists, 7th Edition, by Frederick Lewis Weis, additions by Walter Lee Shippard Jr., 1999, and "History, Genealogical and Biographical, of the Molyneux Families" by Nellie Zada Rice Molyneux, 1904, among other great sources). Has also provided life highlights, which is much appreciated.
NOTE: Above source states that "Randle de Torhaunt must have been Randle le Roter, Lord of Thornton, who became possessed of the Manor of Thornton and is stated by Collins to have been a son of David Le Clerk, Secretary to Randle Blundeville, Earl of Chester." Thus, I have named David Le Clerc (Clerk) as father of Randle de Thornton; however, source lists a "Peter de Thornton".
