    , Volume III: page 621 - The Washbournes, of Washbourne, were generation after generation of knightly degree, previous to the reign of EDWARD III and ranked in point of descent with the most ancient families in the kingdom. Shortly after the Conquest, they derived their name from Wasseborne, or Washbourne, in Worcestershire, and at a very early period, quartered the arms of Zouch; Corbet, Wysham, Walshe and Blount, as also those of the Earl of Warwick's second son. About the time of EDWARD III. JOHN WASHBOURNE, of Washbourne, (the grandson of Sir Roger Washbourne, who was himself the grandson of another Sir Roger Washbourne, with whom the pedigree§ in the visitations commences) married two wives: by the first,. Joan, daughter and heir of Sir John Musard, knt. he had an only daughter, Isolde, who became the wife of. John Salwey, of Kanke, (see vol. i p. 152) and by the second, Margaret, daughter and heir of John Poher, or Power, a son, NORMAN WASHBOURNE, who retired to his mother's estate in Wichenford, where his descendants continued to reside for several generations, enjoying the highest respectability, and intermarrying with the houses of Kynaston Mytton, Stapysse, Tracy, Lygon, etc. The direct male line of the family eventually expired with WILLIAM WASHBORNE esq. of Wichenford, in Worcestershire, and of Pytchley, in the county of Northampton, the lineal descendant of Norman Washbourne, of Wichen- ford, and consequently the full male representative of the Washbournes, of Washbourne. He married HESTER daughter of Sir John ERNLE, knt. of Whetham, and his only child, who left issue, married Francis Money, esq. The Washbournes are consequently (as already shown) now represented by the MONEYs.
