Middlemore Family Genealogy

The Baskerviles were a very ancient Herefordshire family settled at Erdisley in that county in the days of Henry the Second. It is not known to what branch Joan Baskervill belonged, but John Baskerville, brother of Sir Walter Baskervile, of Erdisley, K.B., had a grandson, Sir Thomas Baskervile, of Goodrest in Warwickshire, general of the English army in Picardy, who died in 1597, having married Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Throckmorton. It is not unlikely that she was sister or daughter of this Sir Thomas Baskervile. Arms, Argent a chevron gules, between three hurts.
