His son Sir John de Warren (c. 1343 - 25 November 1386) was the first of this surname to succeed to the manors of Stockport and Poynton in Cheshire, and Woodplumpton in Lancashire.
In 1309, King Edward II of England granted leave for John to make anyone he wanted heir to the lands that he held.
[15] In 1316 the earl granted to Edmund de Nerford the reversion of a messuage, two carucates of land, twenty four acres of meadow and ten marks of rent in Harrowby, Donisthorpe, Grantham, and Barkston.
[17][note 2] Edward was not named in a land settlement dated 4 August 1316, and the earl's two sons, John and Thomas by Maud de Nerford were.
[7] Because of this it is probable[21] that Edward was born after this date but before 1320, at which point the earl had "expelled Maud de Nerforde from his heart and his company."
If Ralph died without heirs, the manors of Skeyton, and Booton, with appertunances and adowson of the churches were to go to Matilda (Maud) de Nerford.
Joan the widow of Nicholas Percy, then married John Mautravers, and their daughter Alice was born 29 September 1325.
[note 6]With William Whitwell, Edward was a joint mesne lord of lands and tenements in Crostwick and Berton in the hundred of Tunstede.
[43] On 22 April 1346 Edward, named as the son of John Earl Warenne of Surrey and Stratherne, was ready to serve the King abroad.
[44] Edward is recorded in the rolls of Crécy and Calais in the retinue of William de Warrenne, his brother or half-brother.
In relation to Skeyton at this time, he was referred to as "Edward de Garrenne, late lord of that manor" and Cicely his widow was still alive.
Peter de Brewes was lord of the manor of Skeyton at this time, and a rent of 10 Marks was due to him which had been accumulated by Edward.
His paternity, maternity, estimated age, and relationship to Isabel are detailed in that inquisition: "...she died in the feast of St.Luke the Evangelist (October 18th), 43 Edward III (1369), and John, the son of Sir Edward Warren, Knt., is next of kin and next heir, namely son of a certain Cicely, sister of Robert de Stokeport, father of the said Sir Richard de Stokeport, Knt., father of the said Isabella, and the said John is of the age of 26 years and more."
[35] From this, John de Warren succeeded to the manor of Bredbury, and also lands in Romiley, Werneth, and Etchells.
[35] In the same year as Isabel's inquisition, John de Warren held "Bintre's Portion" of the adowson of Itteringham in Norfolk.
[52] John had been Knighted by 1379, and held the adowson of Skeyton that year presenting Roger de Schevesby as rector.
On 19 March 1386, he witnessed a charter with Sir Thomas Erpingham, at Brandiston, just under two miles from Booton, Norfolk.
One of the witnesses to this inquisition post mortem in 1418 was John de Whitwell of Felmingham, which is very close to Skeyton in Norfolk.
