Pearsall, History of the Pearsall Family, Volume II: Chapter 18 - Richard de Peshall, section 2 - Ancestry of Joan Chetwynd, pages 570-571 - The Feodaries of 1240, agree in representing John de Chetewind as holding Chetewind and its appurtenances, for two knights' fees in the Barony of Fitz Alan In 1250, John de Chetewinde was amerced 5 merks by Geoffrey de Langley for venison-trespass, but the King excused him by special writ. A Patent of August 22, 1251, exempts John de Chetewind from liability to serve on Assizes, Juries, &c. A charter dated at Windsor on Nov. 3, 1252, gives John de Chetwynd Free Warren on his lands in Shropshire, Staffordshire, and Warwickshire. Chetwynd, Weston, and Howie are the estates particularized. Another Patent of 1253 includes him among those whose estates were entitled to protection and immunity so long as the owners should be serving the King in Gascony.
   The Bradford Hundred.-Roll of 1255 says as follows .—The Manor of Chetewynde is of the Barony of Sir John fitz Alan of Whitemister (Oswestry). And it is 9 geldable hides, and one whole knight's fee. And it pays 3s. per annum for motfee and 3s. for stretward, and makes due suit to County and Hundred. And John de Chetewinde holds the said Manor in capite of the said John fitz Alan. And the said John de Chetewinde shall provide three mountores at his own. cost at Whiteminster. The different estimates which we are constantly meeting with of the military service due on a particular tenure are perhaps to be reconciled when John de Chetwynd is said to hold under Fitz Alan by service of one knight, it is forinsec service that is alluded to, that is foreign military service, the exact service lie as a knight had rendered in 1253 when he accompanied Fitz Alan to Gascony. When again his service is described as two knights' fees he is assessable in that proportion to the scutages and aids charged on his Suzerain. Lastly the service of 3 Mountores, equivalent to 1-' fees, was a different thing, not necessarily bearing any proportion to the other kinds of liability.
