(b) In his collections for Suffolk genealogies, Sir Simonds d'Ewes saysthat Robert de Ufford was, "uti colligo", 2nd son of Johnde Peyton, sonof Nigel, who lived in the reignof Henry I; but there is no evidenceamong the charters which he there transcribes from the documents then(Dec 1631) penes Sir Edward Peyton, Knight and Barinet, at Isleham,Cambs, and noevidence has been traced elsewhere; nor is the chronologyeasily reconcilable with the known facts. Robert de Ufford is known tohave had a brother John, who was b. in July 1276. A John de Ufford hadletters of protection for 3 years,7 Nov 1280, proceeding by the King'slicense, to Ireland, and letters of safe conduct, 14 Mar 1282/3 and 30Aug 1284, to go to the Court of Rome. Royal assent was given to hiselection as Bishop of Enachdune, a disputed Irish see, 16 Mar 1282/3, buthe d. "prosecuting his right" thereto before 1300. Another man (? othermen) of this name (fl. 1302-25) is described with John, brother ofRobert, in 'Knights of Edward I'.

of this family, says Sir William Dugdale, which afterwards arrived togreat honour, I have not seen anything memorable until the 53rd Henry III[1269], when Robert, a younger son of John de Peyton, of Peyton, co.Suffolk, assuming his surname from the lordship of Ufford in that shire,became Robert de Ufford. This Robert was Justice of Ireland in the reignof Henry III and again in the reign of Edward I. He m. Mary, widow ofWilliam de Say, and, dying in the 26th of the latter king, was s. by hisson, Sir Robert de Ufford.
