Adam de Peshale lived in Shropshire. His name appears, however, upon the records of Staffordshire as a surety for the defendant in a suit for the recovery of money. Coram Rege Michaelmas 9-10 Edward I. 1281. Thomas le Goldene sued William de Sogenhull and Doryee his wife for 100 pounds owing to him and they did not appear and they were attached by Thomas Brian of Pesehall and Adam de Pesehall; they, i.e. the sureties, are therefore in misericordia and the sheriff is ordered to distrain and produce them on the morrow of the Purification. The parties to this suit were all related to each other, except Thomas Brian of Pesehall. Thomas le Golden was Thomas de Peshale, brother of Adam de Peshale. The suit had been started a year before at which time the clerk had recorded the plaintiff as Thomas de Peshale, as witness.

Banco Roll Easter 8 Edward I. Staffordshire 1280. Thomas de Peshale sued William de Sogenhulle and Dora his wife for 100 pounds owing to him and they did not appear. The Sheriff was therefore ordered to attach and produce them at Trinity. As to the defendants, Dorothie, wife of William de Suggenhull, alias le Fisher, before her marriage had been Dorothie de Peshale. She was the daughter of Thomas de Peshale of the line of John, son of John de Lumley de Peshale. [Staff. Hist. Col. vol. 6, part 1, page 105-128.]

There were also several records of law suits in Staffordshire relating to the sons of Adam de Peshale fixing their relationship to each other and to their father. These records will appear in the next chapter which treats of the sons of Adam de Peshale. One as an example, which fixes the relation of Adam de Peshale and his son Adam de Peshale junior, will therefore be sufficient at this time.

From Chapter 15 pages 456-457

“Dr. Walter de Peshale occupies a peculiar position in our family history, in that so far as our present knowledge goes, he is not only our ancestor but he is the genearch or common ancestor of all living Peshales . All the line of ancestry of those who today call themselves Peshale, of every spelling, excepting Pexall and Pascall which are of the line of Ralph , a son of John de Lumley de Peshale , trace their ancestry to Dr. Walter de Peshale.

The important facts to be remembered at this time are that Dr. Walter de Peshale is the descendent of William de Peshale , son of John de Lumley Peshale.”

On the first page of Ch14 it states “Walter de Peshale son of William de Peshale”

Ch 15 first page states” Walter de Peshale son of Walter de Peshale from ch 14, whose son is Adam de Peshale.”

Edited by The William Salt Archeological Society, Collections for a History of Staffordshire, pages 98-99 - From the Chetwynd MS. We learn that Sir John de Swynnerton, knight, purchased lands in Peshale from Robert son of Stephen de Peshale and Thomas son of Thomas de Peshale in the reign of King Henry III. [1216-1272 KLM]…which were given to his younger son Richard, who seating himself there, assumed the name of Peshall and was the progenitor of that family which in succeeding ages arose to very great eminence and esteem in this and the neighboring counties.
