Family and Education
prob. s. and h. of John Meverel (d.1399/1400) of Fradswell, Staffs. by his w. Margaret. m. 2s. 2da.CCR, 1429-35, p. 183; Wm. Salt Arch. Soc. xvi. 82. A John Meverel senior and his wife, Joan, the daughter of William Stafford, are mentioned, together with their son John, in a deed of 1410. Yeatman’s belief that this refers to the MP and his parents is manifestly wrong, as Meverel’s mother was called Margaret. It seems unlikely, on chronological grounds, that Meverel was then himself old enough to have an adult son, although the possibility cannot be discounted (Wm. Salt Arch. Soc. xvii. 80; C.P. Yeatman, Feudal Hist. Derbys. v. 180).
