Notes

2) JOHN ORMOND of Alfreton, Derbyshire, second son, born 1462-65. The
Butlers of Ormond held lands in Derbyshire as early as 1406, and John
Ormond apparently was groomed to wield local influence. In 1485 and a
marriage was arranged for him that year with Joan Chaworth, heiress of
Alfreton manor and he had a commission to hold inquests in Derbyshire
and Nottinghamshire 19 February 1487. He was selected to be made a
Knight of the Bath at the marriage of Prince Arthur, but paid a fine to
release himself from that honor in July 1501.

He married, 1485, Joan Chaworth, born about 1463, only daughter of Sir
William Chaworth of Wiverton. On the death of her childless cousin Sir
Thomas Chaworth in 1483, Joan was heiress to the manors of Medbourne
(Leicestershire), Marnham (Nottinghamshire) and Alfreton. Sir Thomas
Chaworth had been married to John Ormond's first cousin Margaret Talbot
(daughter of the 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury and Elizabeth Butler, sister of
the 5th, 6th and 7th Earls of Ormond). It was likely through the
influence of his Talbot relations that John Ormond's marriage to the
Chaworth heiress was secured.

John Ormond died 5 October 1503, and his wife Joan died 29 August 1507.
They are buried in St. Martin church, Alfreton. Issue, three
daughters and co-heiresses:

2A) JOAN ORMOND married 1st, Thomas Dynham (d. 1519), of Eythorpe,
Buckinghamshire, illegitimate son of John, 7th Lord Dinham; married
2nd, William Fitzwilliam (d. at Milton 9 August 1534) of Gains Park,
Es*** and Milton, Northamptonshire, son of John Fitzwilliam of Greens
Norton and Ellen Villiers.

2B) ANNE ORMOND married Sir William Mering of Mering, Nottinghamshire,
and died without issue.

2C) ELIZABETH ORMOND married 1498, Sir Anthony Babington (b. by 1476,
died at Kingston-on-Soar, Nottinghamshire 23 August 1536) of Dethick,
Derbyshire, son and heir of Thomas Babington of Dethick and Edith
Fitzherbert, and died November 1505, leaving issue, two sons.
