  THE COMPLETE PEERAGE - NOTES ON THE HOO PEDIGREE Note A. -- For some account of this family [Hoo] see article by W.D.Cooper in 'Sussex Arch. Collection', which is founded on Harl. MS., thisbeing vol ii of the genealogical charters of Sir Simonds d'Ewes. Itpurports to be transcribed out of an old copy in possession of "ThomasHoo of Hoo-bury in Abbottswalden, esq" and to have been exactly comparedtherewith on 20 Feb 1644/5, but d'Ewes remarks that it is doubtless but atranslation of some old Latin copy by some ignorant person. The accountby d'Ewes is also the main source of information for the pedigreeconstructed by Davy. The following brief account commences with that Sir Robert de Hoo, whohad a grant of free warren 4 May 1292 in Hartford Hoo, Stopsley, andMaulden, Beds; Knebworth and Harpenden, Herts; Clopton, co. Cambridge;and Livethorpe, Oxon. He was probably the "Robert de Ho" who with hiswife Beatrice held 3 fees in Eversden, co. Cambridge, in 1280. In 1292Cicely who was wife of Henry de Hyde, son of William the Knight of WestHyde, granted to Sir Robert de Hoo and Beatrice his wife, to them and theheirs of Robert, land in West Hyde. He was summoned for military service16 Dec 1295 and 12 Mar 1300/1. His son, Sir Robert de Hoo, as son of Sir Robert de Hoo, had a grant inLuton 30 Nov 1310, and m. Hawise, apparently widow of Ralph de Goushill,and daughter of Fulk FitzWarin. She is named as Dame Hawise de Goushillin a grant of Stopsley, and of a messuage and land in Wheathampstead in1321, and as Hawise de Goushill, late wife of Sir Robert de Hoo, she andher heirs had a grant of the manor of Dunsby (Lincoln) in 1345, among thewitnesses being Thomas de Goushill. By Sir Robert de Hoo, Hawise was mother of Sir Thomas Hoo, as appears bya release to Sir Thomas Hoo and Hawise, his mother, of dower in WestHyde, Luton, 11 Mar 1330/1, and by a grant to Dame Hawise de Hoo andThomas de Hoo, her son, 6 Jan 1328/9. Sir Thomas de Hoo m. before 16 Jun1335, at which date she was aged 15, Isabel, daughter and heir of SirJohn de St. Leger, who brought the Sussex and other estates to thefamily. In the Harleian Roll of Hoo deeds (quoted) appears a charter toGeoffrey de St. Leger, dated 29 Mar 1265, granting to him free warren inhis manor of Wartling (Sussex), and an undated charter is a grant to himof the manor of Bucksteep by Thomas de Warbleton in free marriage withhis daughter Agnes, reversion to the grantor if Agnes dsp. By a charterdated 20 Dec 1301 John, son of Geoffrey de St. Leger, and Isabel hiswife, had a grant of free Warren in Wartling, Bucksteep, etc. By a fine(Hil. 16 Edward III) between Sir Thomas de Hoo and Isabel his wife andDame Hawise the manors of Offley and Wartling were settled on Sir Thomasand Isabel and the heirs of their bodies, with remainder to Thomas, sonof the said Sir Thomas, and to William his brother in tail successively,remainder to right heirs of Isabel. In 1345 there is a record of a grantto Sir Thomas de Hoo and Isabel his wife and Thomas, the son, withremainder to William and Robert, brothers of the said Thomas. Sir ThomasHoo, who fought at Crecy and Calais, was buried with his wife at St.Albans Abbey. He [Sir Thomas Hoo] was succeeded by his 2nd but eldest surviving son[the eldest son Thomas must have dsp.], Sir William de Hoo, whose 1stwife, Alice, was daughter and heir of Sir Thomas de St. Omer, by his 1stwife, Pernel, daughter and coheir of Sir Nicholas Malmayns of Ockley,Surrey, etc. The descent of the manor of Ockley and the pedigree of theHoo family are given in Chan. 'Inq. Misc.'; and 'Cal. Fine Rolls', underdates 23 June 1365 and 16 May 1366, shows Alice as of full age and wifeof William de Hoo, and her sister of the half blood, Elizabeth, daughterof Sir Thomas de St. Omer, by his 2nd wife, Margaret, as aged 12. SirWilliam de Hoo, who was captain of the castle of Oye and of Hames, hadlicence 1 Oct 1386 to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and wasemployed on several diplomatic missions. His [Sir William de Hoo's] son and heir, Sir Thomas Hoo or de Hoo, whofought at Agincourt, m. 1stly, in or before Feb 1394/5, Eleanor, widow ofSir Robert d'Ufford of Wrentham, Suffolk, and younger daughter and coheirof Sir Thomas de Felton, KG, of Litcham, Norfolk.

By his first wife he was father of Thomas Hoo, created Lord Hoo. According to Harl. MS, his 2nd wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Williamde Etchingham, by whom he had issue, a son (another) Thomas Hoo,mentioned in the will of Lord Hoo as his brother, which will also refersto "my lady Lewkenore my mother in lawe" (sic--step mother), the saidElizabeth Wychingham having married, 2ndly, Sir Thomas Lewkenor.[Complete Peerage VI:565-7]
