Burke[1] stated that Richard Monington of Westhide, Herefordshire, married 'Joan' Baskerville, daughter of William Baskerville of Wootton, who was son of John Baskerville, son of Sir John Baskerville.
Robinson[9], however, in his Baskerville pedigree showed Eleanor Baskerville, 'Jane' Baskerville the wife of Richard Monington, and Jane Baskerville the wife of Thomas Pembrugge, as daughters of John Baskerville, son of Sir John Baskerville.
Career
The manor of Netherwood in Thornbury, Herefordshire, was granted to a William Baskerville by Henry VII in reward for his valiant services at the Battle of Bosworth.[10][11]
A William Baskervile of Wellington, Herefordshire, was recorded in the Close Rolls in 1505 in connection with John Wymark of London, fuller, and William Twigge of Newington, Middlesex, gentleman.[12]

A William Baskerville Esq was buried on 08 Nov 1539 at Thornbury, Herefordshire.[10] It is unclear if the William Baskerville buried in 1539 was the same man that was at Bosworth in 1485.

Research Notes
Due to the limited evidence there is a great deal of uncertainty about William Baskerville and the connection with John Baskerville and Eleanor Holcote.
Was the William Baskerville of Wootton, Wellington, the same man as William Baskerville of Netherwood?
Is there a missing generation between John Baskerville/Eleanor Holcote and the William Baskerville who died c 1539?
Was the William Baskerville Esq buried on 08 Nov 1539 the same man whose IPM was taken in 1540?
The will for William Baskerville 1539-1540 has yet to be located.
Netherwood/Kyre Park is some 17 miles to the north east of Wellington.
Is the manor of Wootton at King's Pyon, the same place as Wootton, Wellington?, King's Pyon and Wellington are adjacent.
