John de Verdon by whom she had Theobald, Lord Verdon [1306], Lord of a moiety of Meath. ('•) There appears to be great confusion as to his issue. He had, apparently, three sons. The issue male of the youngest, Simon G., of Culmullen, became extinct in the 1st or 2d generation. With respect to the two elder sons it is generally stated the eldest, Geoffrey G , d. v.p. and s.p., and that the second son, Peter G., sue. his father. This Peter undoubtedly had a da. and h., Joan, who became representative of her grandfather and who m., before 1308, Roger (Mortimer), Earl of March, into which family the whole estates of the Genevill and a moiety of those of the Lacy family accordingly passed. It appears probable that it was Peter who d. v.p. and that Geoffrey (the eldest br.) ceded his rights, in 1308, to Roger Mortimer and the said Joan, his wife, and, becoming a Friar, d. uum. Nov. 1313. See Banks's "Bar. Ang. Cmc" ( c ) See vol. iii, p. 113, note " c," sub " Devonshire," for a list of the creations made on that day. C
