General Notes

REFN: 11364AN
WILLIAM DE TREGOZ, who flourished in the reign of Henry I and of whom t
he great Pipe Roll of 31 Hen. I. 1130-1, makes much mention, which docume
nt Sir William Dugdale, in his Baronage (1675), invariably refe
rs to as of 5th Stephen, and this, because the roll was considered of th
at date in his early life, though Prynne, and all antiquaries of any talen
t, acuteness, or discrimination, had determined it of Henry the First's re
ign in 1668, seven years before. The said Pipe Roll of 31 Hen. I. proves W
illiam Tregoz to have been a man of much consequence, and to have been con
cerned in Norfolk, Essex, Berks, and Lincolnshire; and, moreover, th
at he then had the lands of William Peverell, of London, in farm. Tregoz m
arried and Had issue, and very probably that Agnes Tregoz, who we find liv
ing in 9th Ric. I. as concerned in Norfolk and Essex, was his widow. His i
ssue were, apparently, three sons and one daughter. [The Topographer and G
enealogist, Volume II, 1853]
Note: Dave Utzinger's line has Robert de Tregoz, of Ewyas as son of this W
illiam. I cannot believe that a son of a man who fought at the Battle of H
astings could be father of Robert of Ewyas; therefore I am making Willia
m, indicated as father of Robert by CP, as a son of this William. The dat
es are at least possible with the "extra" William
