Misc. Notes
Information with surname of de Stanhope from Cynthia Glover (nee Coleman), whose great-great-grandfather was William Samuel Allen b.1843. (William's sister, Martha Allen, married Charles Oliver, youngest son of James and Ruth Oliver).
However, we learn from Michael Stanhope's 2007 "The History of the Stanhope Family". (Website as at July 2014:
http://stanhopefamilyhistory.webs.com) that the first Stanhope was Richards grandson, Walter de Stanhope.
Michael writes, “Richard de Ifferley, who is mentioned in the Boldon Book of 1183 as holding lands in Stanhope, Durham: 'Richard de Ifferley holds 48 acres, and renders 8s. for his life, and his heir after him shall render 10s.' Richard de Ifferley held lands at Stanhope from the See of Durham, with the office of Seneschal. [E. A. Freeman, ibid.] He married Emma de Longvilliers, daughter of Eudo de Longvilliers I., Seneschal to the de Lacy family, and Agnes de Neville held lands at Stanhope, Durham, England”.
Michael writes, Richard and Emma had a son:
1. Bernard de Ifferley
