• Notes

  From The Wakes of Northamptonshire, p. 20: "Thomas V, a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber, sometimes described in pedigrees as the 'Great Wake', inherited in 1425. By his marriage to Agnes, daughter of Thomas Lovell of Clevedon in Somerset, he became possessed of the manor of Clevedon in 1432. He was now a great landowner. Besides the Lincolnshire estates, Thomas held the manors of Blisworth, Collingrree and Milton Malsor in Northamptonshire, Crawley in Buckinghamshire, Bromham and Cardington in Bedfordshire, and in right of his wife, Clevedon and Milton Clevedon in Somerset with property at Yatton and Wanstrow, as well as land in Kent. He was very active in community affairs, being Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1434, 1446 and 1450, Comissioner for the Peace of Northamptonshire, 1439-43 and 1452-6, for Somerset 1449-57, and for Kesteven, 1456-58; he was also called to attend the Winchester Parliament of 1449."
