        4. Sir Oliver St. John, born by 1398, was aged 26 at his father's death. Oliver's witnessed the conveyance of the manor of Llanfair, Glamorgan, and was mentioned in other Welsh records. As his father was such a prominent member of the royal household, it is no wonder that he was married, as her first husband, to Margaret Beauchamp (the "de" in surnames was generally dropped about 1400), heir of the Barony of Bletsoe. Margaret was born about 1409-10 (aged 11 in 1420-1), and DIED IN 1482-3. Her first husband, Sir Oliver, died in 1437 As previously stated, Margaret married, second, John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, by whom she was grandmother of Henry VII. It was probably because of this close connection with the House of Tudor that her eldest son and heir was made a Knight of the Bath after Henry VII ascended the throne.
