Thomas de Morley, 5th Baron Morley

Thomas Morley, 5th Lord Morley (1393-1435) was the 5th Lord of Morley. He married Isabel, daughter of Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk. They are the parents of Ann Morley (1413 - 1471) who became the wife of Sir John Hastings, and mother of Elizabeth Hastings. In turn, she married Robert Hildyard (? - 1501) and their son Peter (1460-1501) married Joan de la See (1463 - ?). Joan is the great-granddaughter of Lady Elizabeth Percy. Their son Christopher Hildyard (1490 - 1538) married Margaret Coningsby. In turn, their son Martin Hildyard married Emma Rudston (1511 - ?). In turn, their son, Richard Hildyard (1532 - 1602) married Jane Thwenge (1536 - ?). And in turn, their daughter Ursula Hildyard (1577 - ?) married Richard Jackson (? - 1610) in Yorkshire. This line connects Ursula as a direct descendant to Rollo of Normandy, direct ancestor of William the Conqueror, with the JACKSON family of Eske and later Killingswold Grove in Yorkshire.

Decendants from this line include Sir Anthony Jackson (1599 - 1666), a friend, courtier and herald to Charles I and Charles II Stuarts; Isaac Jackson, an early (1725) Quaker settler in London Grove Township, Chester County, PA, and one of Isaac's greatgrandsons, Thomas Jackson, born in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1788; Andrew Jackson, past President of the United States; and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the Confederate States of America General during the US Civil War.
