Note 1
!StyleName: Hotchkiss, Hugh le Mon de Hokswod [~1250 - ~1310]
!Note: Apparent Hawkeswood line.
!Notes: Summary early Sidbury and Hokeswod records. Hawkswood House is about 1 mile southwest of Sidbury, so no they aren’t the same thing. That is more or less toward Chorley.
Before 1066 - Under Wiga, a franklin, Sudbury’s Saxon lord, it had been worth 20s. annually, afterwards it was waste.
1086 - Sudbury was held by Ralph de Mortimer under-Earl Roger de Montgomery as one hide. There were two ox-teams in demesne, and six serfs, six villeins, and three bordars with two teams, and there was land for two teams more. In I086 was worth 18s
1200 - A Sir Hugh de Sudberi occurs, who probably took his name from Sidbury.
Before 1240 Sidbury became the property of Ralph d’Arraz.
1255 - Ralph d’Arraz held Sidbury as a hide and half of land. He also held Neenton as half a hide.
1280 - mention of Hokeswod along with Sidbury and Fulesworth in an assize of mort d'ancestor where Henry son of Henry le Clerk, of Sudbury attempts to reclaim his inherited land in feudal tenure from Joan late wife of Radulph de Araz who had taken possession after the death of his [Henry’s] father Henry le Clerk.
1303 - John fitz [son of] Nicholas of Northwod sells land to Hugh le Mou of Hokswood witness William de Hokeswod [grant of land at Chorley]. One source mentions Gregory and William de Hokeswode, but can’t find original reference.
1310 - Richard son of Hugh le Mou of Hokswood sells to John de Baskerville of Northwude, land which John de Hoxwode gave to Hugh, Richard’s Father in the vill and fields of Northwude. I’m not sure if this includes the land given as near Sidbury, but this is not Hokeswode as Hokeswode was already given as belonging to William and Hugh prior to the 1303 purchase.
1316 - Ralph d’Arraz is given as lord of Sidbury, but Neenton is not mentioned.
1328 - Hugh, son of Warin de Neenton. acknowledges he had gifted tenements to Thomas, the parson of the church of Neenton, who grants to Hugh, son of Warin and Joan his wife and their heirs the same tenaments at Neenton. John fil Rogi Hochkys & his heirs are listed as the 4th of the successors if Hugh and Joan had not living descendants.
—
So from the above, we have:
Nicholas of Northwod
John of Northwod and de Hoxwode, son of Nicholas 1303 Sells land to son Hugh, Richard’s father - William of Hokeswode is witness
Hugh le Mou of Hokswod, son of John 1310 possibly dead as son Richard is selling some land from his father to John de Baskerville of Northwude. Richard’s grandfather would be too old to be John.
Richard, son of Hugh of Hokswod 1310 adult, born before 1290, maybe 1285.
—
So we have Richard son of Hugh, and Roger as contemporaries, possibly brothers.
William is also likely to be related to both Hugh and John. I’m going to guess for now as Hugh’s brother, which would leave John as father to all 3.
Note: Detailed source information is under Roger.

Note that this is one of the better compilations of Northwood and early Hawksood materials. I had recorded some of this line but gotten sidetracked, so went looking for related materials and found the.

This is probably filled with errors, but I can’t bring myself to just toss it out completely. It is background material that I dug up while searching for the father of Grace Baskerville who married Edmund Gee around 1415 or earlier. Neither the Baskervilles of Eardisley, nor Sir Thomas Beaumont are the correct lines.
IN SEARCH OF THOMAS BASKERVILLE
The Baskerville family is a very old Norman family in England. Eardisley in Herefordshire was their earliest home. Ralph de Baskerville married Sibyl, heiress of Adam de Port and held a knights fee in 1165 of Adam de Port, in Eardisley. His son, Sir Robert Baskerville, married Agnes, daughter of Nesta, daughter of Rhys ap Gryfudd, Prince of South Wales. Their sons were Ralph, Walter died post 1168, Robert, died post 1173, and Richard, died 1177. Their Sir Ralph de Baskerville married a daughter of Drogo, Lord Clifford in 1154. He held his lands from the reign of Henry I through inheritance and upon his murder in 1194 in Northamptonshire, his son Roger succeeded to Eardisley, in Herfordshire and his son Thomas succeeded him at Pickthorn, the Shropshire estate. In 1200, Thomas, not yet of age, challenged Roger Fitz William … for that wickedly, and in the King peace, and in felony, and in murder, he slew Ralph de Baskerville his father in his house, and this the said Thomas saw, as he said, being a boy under age, and this he offers to prove against Roger with his body. Another son, Walter married first Emma de St. Leger, who died in 1196, then the widow, Iseult Pantulf. Emma was the mother of Walter Baskerville who was born about 1194 and died around 1243. Another son of Ralph and the lady Clifford was Ralph who died in 1186. In Warwickshire is Stretton-Baskerville, which obtained its name from William d Baskerville who held three fees of Robert, Earl Ferrers honor of Tutbury. In 1208, the last Baskerville to hold Stretton was Walter, grandson of William.
By the 13th century Baskerville families lived in Herefordshire along the border with Wales, Northamptonshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Norfolk, Buckinghamshire, and Wiltshire.
Baskervilles of Eardisley, Herefordshire
Sir Roger de Baskerville, of Eardisley, married Joan daughter of Sir Rothes Le Gros, Lord Orcop and was the father of Walter de Baskerville, who married Elizabeth Pembrugge daughter of Sir Richard Pemburgge. Walter was born about 1189 and died in 1243. Their son, Walter married Susannah daughter of Sir John Crigdon. His brother was Richard Baskerville, father of Adreas, Thomas and Richard.
Walter, who died before 1260, and Susannah were the parents of Robert, Sir Walter, who inherited, Richard and possibly George and Robert. Sir Walter Baskerville married Sibilla Streaton after 1280 and died before 1290.
Richard’s son Walter who married Sibilla, sister of Pet Corbet de Caux, succeeded his uncle. Their son, Richard Baskerville of Eardisley married Joanna Poyntz, daughter of Nicholas. Their son Richard married Isabella and they were the parents of Richard who died in 1395.
It is Richard de Baskerville who died in 1395, son of Richard and Isabella who inherited the Eardisley estates. Richard married Joanna, daughter of Adam de Everingham de Laxton. Their son John Baskerville was born in 1390, and married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of John Brugge de Letton. John died in 1415. John and Elizabeth were the parents of John and Ralph. Their son John was born February 12, 1408, at Combe, Northants who died December 23, 1455. He married Elizabeth daughter of Isabell and John Touchet, Lord Audley. His brother, Radulphus , was born in 1410 and married Ann daughter of John Blackett.
John as a young man, served with King Henry at Agincourt. John and Elizabeth were the parents of Sible, James, Thomas, John, Henry, and Humphrey. These children were born between 1430 and 1445. James Baskerville, of Eardisley, Knight of the Bath at the coronation of Henry VII, married Sibilla, sister of Walter Devereux. In 1454 James Baskerville was involved in controlling the Welsh. At the battle of Towton, in 1461, this family was well represented. Among the Yorkists were James Baskerville, esquire, and Thomas Baskerville, esquire, supporting the Yorkist cause of Edward IV. In 1471, the Battle of Tewksbury included Sir James Baskerville and Sir Thomas Baskerville on the Yorkist side. James Baskerville, after the battle of Stoke, near Newark in 1487, was made Knight Banneret on the field and Knight of the Bath at the coronation of Henry VII. Sir James Baskerville, born in 1430, married Sibilla Devereux, were the parents of Walter, Phillip, James, Henry, Edmund, Thomas and Ralph as well as several daughters. This family resided at Eardisley, Herefordshire. Their son Thomas married Alice Milbourne, widow of Henry Parry. They were married after 1523.
Sir James Baskerville had two grandsons named Thomas, but both were far too young to be the father of Grace. One resided in Goodrest, Warwickshire and the other was Thomas of Netherwood, Herefordshire. A great grandson was Thomas of Pontrilas.
Thomas Baskerville, second son of John and Elizabeth Baskerville was born in 1432 in Herfordshire. He is likely the Sir Thomas Baskerville noted with Sir James Baskeville at Towton and Tewksbury.
Baskervilles of Pickthorn, Shropshire
In 1260 Juliana de Baskerville issued a release to Hugh de Baskerville of a virgate of land in Northwood which Ysolda de Baskerville mother of the said Juliana and Hugh held in the said vill.
