Michael quotes from the 5th. Earl Stanhope [Notices of The Stanhopes As Esquires And Knights and Until Their First Peerages In 1605 And 1616, unpublished, 1855] quotes from The History of Durham by William Hutchinson, 1794, vol. iii. p. 295, to state that:

‘The first of the name Stanhope we find holding lands in Stanhope was Richard de Stanhope, the son of Walter de Stanhope, who died seised of a messuage of 22 acres of land in the fifth year of Bishop Bury, 1338-1339, charged with a mark yearly to Peter de Stanford. In the ninth year of Bishop Hatfield, 1354, one of this family, William, died seised of 24 acres of land and 15 acres he had acquired of Robert Featherstonhalgh, and left a daughter, Margaret de Stanhope, his heir, after which period we do not find any of the Stanhopes named in the records’.
