Robert was Baron of Skelton and was granted Annandale in 1124. See a discussion of this uncertain ancestry on the Web (in 2003) at http://www.baronage.co.uk/bphtm-03/bruce-03.html. Also see http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SCOTLAND.htm#AdamBrusdied1143. Cf. http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/british/bb4fz/bruce01.htm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_de_Brus,_1st_Lord_of_Annandale and http://www.geocities.com/janet_ariciu/theBrucefamily.html.
Find A Grave memorial 85709254 and succeeding generations offers different dates, etc. and reports: "Robert de Brus was the 1st Lord of Cleveland and Annandale.
He was granted Skelton in Yorkshire, by King Henry I in 1106, and had a charter from King of Scots, David I, for Annandale about 1124. In 1138, shortly before the Battle of the Standard, he renounced his allegiance to Scotland and resigned his lands to his younger son, Robert. There were two sons: Robert de Brus, 2nd Lord of Annandale, who inherited the Lordship of Annandale, Adam de Brus, whose descendants continued to hold lands in England as Lords of Skelton. When Peter de Brus III, last Bruce Lord of Skelton, died in 1272, his sisters were co-heiresses. One of them, Laderia, carried Carleton to her marriage with John de Bellew, whose daughter, Sybil married Sir Miles de Stapleton (k. 1314, at the Battle of Bannockburn), whose family were subsequently designated "of Carleton". This appears to confirm the de Brus and de Pagnall of Carleton connection. Sir Miles Stapleton's son and heir, Sir Gilbert (d. 1321) married Agnes, daughter of Bryan FitzAlan, Lord FitzAlan, and a granddaughter of Devorguilla of Galloway (d. 1290) wife of John de Balliol, Lord of Barnard Castle, whose son was King John of Scotland."
Cicely is dau. of Richard de Weyland, of Blaxhall and Cockfield, co. Suffolk - per John S. Wurts, "Magna Charta," p. 2936. Richard de Weyland was b. ca. 1290 (aged 22 on 30 Oct 1312) to Sir John de Weyland. Sir John de Weyland and his son John had jointly acquired Clopton Manor, Co. Suffolk from whence he was summoned to serve against the Scots 25 May 1298. Sir John is son of Sir Thomas de Weyland and Ann de Colevill, daughter of Richard de Colevill; Sir Thomas was Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas and was summoned to Parliament 30 Sept 1283 at Shrewsbury.
A posting by John P. Ravilious in GEN-MEDIEVAL-L Archives 28 May 2002 offers: "Two sources of information have raised issues as to both the ancestry of the issue of Sir Thomas de Weyland, one-time Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench (d. in exile, 1291 or later), and the exact line of descent from Sir Thomas to Cecily de Weyland, heiress of her father (Sir Richard) and wife of Bartholomew de Burghersh, Lord Burghersh (d. 1369).
"The first source, alleging that the Weyland or Welond family 'had been the original Anglo-Norman grantees' of Tulachrothan and other lands in Ireland, states as follows:
"'1283 (Quinzaine of St. Martin). Final concord made in the King's court at Westminster, in the quinzaine of St. Martin, a. r. 12, before John de Lobetot, Roger of Leicester, and William de Burnton, justices between Thomas Welond, Margery his wife, Richard their son, complainants, and William le Gras, deforciant, whereby a plea of agreement was made between them, to wit, that the said William acknowledged the manor of Sobbit (i.e. Sodbbury) to be the right of the said Richard to hold to the said Thomas, Margery, and Richard, and the heirs body of Richard, of the lords of the fee for ever; with reversion in fee to John, son of Thomas Welond, after Thomas's and Margery's death, if Richard should have no heirs of his body.
"Warranty by William; and for this acknowledgement, warranty, fine and concord, the said Thomas granted in exchange to the said William all the lands, & c., which William previously had of the gift of William Welond, Thomas's brother, in Tulachrothan, Rathbolgan, Gurtuelem and Balydine, Ireland, to hold to the said William le Gras in fee; paying 1d. at Easter, and rendering for Thomas to the chief lords of the fee all other services belonging to the said tenements in Ireland.
"Warranty of the tenements in Ireland by Thomas and his heirs to the said William le Gras.'
"Evidently the Weyland family in fact had established rights in Ireland, to which Sir Thomas was heir, but over which there was some dispute. Sir Thomas had (according to Copinger) inherited the Suffolk manors of the family at Brandeston, Westerfield & c. from his elder brother William, who d. in 1274 (shortly after their father, Sir John). This is the first indication I have seen of such a connection between the Weyland family and tenancies in Ireland.
"The second source provides information as to connections of the le Gras (Crassus) and Weyland families to Chipping Sodbury, co. Glocs. The information is taken from the Calendar of Charter Rolls (CChR) and Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum (RLC), and provides the following as to charters for markets ("M") and fairs ("F") to be held at the manor of Chipping Sodbury :
"' M (Letter Close) Mon; mercatum, gr 12 Aug 1218, by K Hen III to William Crassus, the elder (RLC, i, p. 368). To be held at the manor. Mandate to the sh[eriff] of Gloucestershire to cause him to have it.
"M (Charter) Thurs; gr 24 May 1227, by K Hen III to William Crassus, the elder, kn[ight] (CChR, 1226-57, p. 43). Order to sh of Gloucestershire regarding the market, 5 Jun 1227 (RLC, ii, p. 188b).
"M (Charter) Mon; gr 6 Nov 1270, by K Hen III to William de Weylaund. To be held at the manor (CChR, 1257-1300, p. 156). It is possible that this was to replace the right to a Mon market granted in 1218.
"M (Charter) Thurs; gr 15 Nov 1280, by K Edw I to Thomas de Weyland. To be held at the manor (CChR, 1257-1300, p. 236).
"F (Charter) f+7, John the Baptist (24 Jun); gr 24 May 1227, by K Hen III to William Crassus, the elder, kn (CChR,
1226-57, p. 43). Order to sh of Gloucestershire regarding the fair, 5 Jun 1227 (RLC, ii, p. 188b).
"F (Charter) vfm, Decollation of John the Baptist (29 Aug); gr 6 Nov 1270, by K Hen III to William de Weylaund
(CChR, 1257-1300, p. 156). To be held at the manor.
"F (Charter) vfm, Nativity of John the Baptist (24 Jun); gr 15 Nov 1280, by K Edw I to Thomas de Weyland. To be
held at the manor (CChR, 1257-1300, p. 236)..... This was presumably the fair on John the Baptist recorded on 20 Dec 1375, held by Edward le Despenser, kn, lately deceased (CIPM, xiv, p. 219). '
"It is interesting to note that William de Weyland (d. 1274) is found having charters to hold a fair and a market 'at the manor' in Chipping Sodbury in 1270. This may indicate that (A) his father Sir John in fact died before 6 Nov 1270; (B) that his rights in Chipping Sodbury derived from marriage, and not from inheritance; or (C) that the manor of Chipping Sodbury (or a moiety therefore) had been given him by his father, or through inheritance from his mother, prior to his father's death.
"Issues & Questions:
"1. Thomas de Weyland is given by Copinger as having wed Margaret de Moese, daughter and heiress of Thomas de Moese, of Campsey, Suffolk. Outside of the Weyland and Moese surnames, and the various manors held by those families as identified by Copinger (Brandeston, Westerfield & c.) no earlier family connections have been ascertained.
"Does anyone on the list have information that would confirm, or explain, the connection of the Weyland family to that of William le Gras (aka William 'Crassus') ?
"2. If appears (from prior posts, and the descent of the manor of Rouse Hall, Suffolk) that Richard de Weyland, son of Thomas, did in fact die without direct heirs, and that the manor of Sodbury (Chipping Sodbury), co. Glocs. reverted to his brother John de Weyland. This would explain the association with Edward le Despenser in 1375. In particular, see the
SGM posts by Douglas Richardson et seq., incl. the thread New MC Line: Clare-Breuse-Weyland-Burghersh-Despenser, December 2000. Does anyone of the list have evidence that either proves or disproves this determination?"

For extensive information concerning Edmund and Annis and their family, see http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/9211/LITTLFLD.htm. http://www.one-barton-family.us/genealogy/viva reports that Edmond m. "Annis Austin in Titchfield, England on October 16, 1614. He was a clothier by trade as was his father before him. The decline of the wool trade probably played a major part in his decision to emigrate. He came to this country from Titchfield in 1636 or 1637, probably at the same time as the Rev. John Wheelright, for he was one of his parishoners at Exeter, New Hampshire in 1639, and was one of the combination to whom twenty-one acres of land was assigned. In 1638 he sent to England for his family, and on May 16 of that year his wife Annis and six children took passage for Boston in the 'Bevis' of Hampton, Capt. Townes." The web site gives further details and children, and Edmund's father (Francis Littlefield who d. 21 Oct 1618 in Tichfield, and whose will is reprinted in the "New England Historical and Genealogical Register," vol 67, Oct 1913, pp 343-349). http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~silversmiths/7/2767.htm reports "Annes or Agnes Austin was born on 01 Feb 1596 in Exeter, Devonshire, England, christened on 01 Feb 1597 in Titchfield, Hampshire, England, died on 12 Dec 1677 in Wells, York, ME and was buried in 1677 in Wells, York, ME." See also http://www.littlefieldhistory.com which states that Edmund is son of "Francis Littlefield - was born in 1565 in Exeter, Devon, England and died on 21 Oct 1618 in Tichfield, Hampshire, England. He was the son of Francis Littlefield and Annis Pope. Francis married Mary Hill about 1591 in St. Peter's Church - Tichfield. Mary was born in 1564 in Exeter, Devon, England. She died on 29 Oct 1605 in Tichfield, Hampshire" and reports of Edmund "Came to New England in abt 1636, probably with his two eldest sons. His wife and six children followed on the Bevis in May of 1638, with servants John Knight and Hugh Durdal. His name appears on a paper for the purpose of government in Exeter, NH, signed on 5 Jun 1639. he was granted 21 acres of land there. He moved to Wells, ME around 1640/41. There is a plaque in Wells, ME stating that his saw and gristmill were the first permanent structures in the town. The plaque is next to the Webhannet Falls on the site of his mill. On 14 July 1643, he was granted 100 acres adjacent to the mill and the neck of the marsh between that and Webhannet River. In Nov 1645, he and John Wadleigh were granted 200 acres on Southwest side of the Ogunquit River, not intrenching on town of Wells."
