      • Henry Stanhope married Joan Rochford of Stoke Rochford, in the county of Lincoln. Their only son, Edmund, was buried in the chapel at Houghton, which was a burial-place of the Stanhopes while they lived at Rampton, although some of them are interred at Tuxford and at Rampton. Edmund's daughter and heir, by Alice his wife, was Margaret Stanhope, obit. 1/1/1539, who married Thomas Skeffington, of Skeffington, Leicestershire. Their son and heir was William Skeffington, 1518-22/9/1571, who married Mary Cave, obit. 7/9/1558. On the decease of Margaret Stanhope, Thomas Skeffington inherited part of the manor of West Markam, and lands in Little Darlington, Ryton, and Stoke Rochford.
