Disputed Origins

With a first marriage on 29 Nov 1383, her birth was prior to 29 Nov 1371, which accords with the date of 1362 in Watney. Watney places Maud as the daughter of Giles, the younger, [died 1403] currently shown as her brother, rather than Giles, the elder, [died 1386] currently shown as her father.

Source: Watney, Vernon James, "The Wallop Family And Their Ancesty", Oxford: John Johnson,1928, Vol. II, p. 256, no. 309, p. 431, no. 529 < FamilySearch >

Giles' Will dated June 1, 1400 mentions wife Margaret and children Matilda, Joan, Giles, Thomas and Elizabeth as well as brother Thomas Daubeney. Interestingly he intends compensation to people harmed by his family. "The residue of my goods found in my manors of Kemston and Ingylby, Southpedirton, Baryngton, Polnam, and Usse in the county of Cornwall, I give to my executors to satisfy all men complaining that they have had harm or injury by Giles Daubeney, chivaler, my father, and Eleanor, formerly his wife, my mother, and by me."

But this seems to make clear her generational placement as daughter of Giles Daubeney (died 1386):

Maud, dame Latimer, names these family members in her will: …

"sister Chambernon" …

Note from http://cybergata.com/roots/8957.htm:

Richard Champernon married, 2ndly to Katherine, apparently the daughter of that Sir Giles Daubeny, who was the 3rd Baron Daubeny, of Kilmersdon, Somersetshire, who died 24 June 1386, and his wife Eleanor Wyllington, herself a Champernoun descendant, though a daughter is named among their children in Lord Hylton's Notes on the History of the Parish of Kilmersdon [Taunton, 1910]. < GoogleBooks >
