Sir Knight Thomas Gerard of Kingsley & Bryn was born on July 15, 1431 and was only 16 years old when his father died. He became a ward of Thomas Danyell in 1449. He had two wives and for some unknown reason, was given a pension by King Edward IV. He was only 16 when he married Douce de Ashton in 1447. Later, he married, Cecily Foulshurst. Between the two wives, he had two sons, Lawrence Gerard and Sir Peter Gerard. Lawrence Gerrard did not inherit and moved to Sittingbourne, Kent County near London. He apparently, was the first ancestor in 10 generations, to leave the Bryn and Kinsley area -----------

Thomas Gerrard was born in Bryn, Lancashire, England to Sir Peter Gerard and Isobella Strangeways. He married Dulcia Assheton, daughter of Sir Thomas Assheton.
