See:
Rosie Bevan, A Study of A Medieval Knightly Family: The Longfords of
Derby****re, Part 2, Foundations, Vol. 1, Number 5, Jan 2005, pps
344-372. CP (Ferrers of Chartley). 'Historical Collections of
Stafford****re', or 'Collections for a History of
Stafford****re' (edited by The William Salt Archaeological Society, New
Series volume 1, printed in 1898). Visitation (Warwick****re,
1619+1682-3, Ferrers of Tamworth Castle).
I have not seen any evidence that Sir Humphrey Ferrers (d. 1608) had a
son Richard.
