    • Biography from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Conyers-57:

      In 1391 an indenture was sealed between Richard Scrope and John Conyers "whereby Richard has sold to John the wardship of the person and lands of Margaret, cousin and heir to Thomas St Quentin, knight, of Hornby, in Richmondshire, which pertains to him because of the minority of Margaret. John has paid 200 marks to Richard for the wardship". Michael Prestwich, ed. Liberties and Identities in the Medieval British Isles, Melanie Devine, The Lordship of Richmond in the Later Middle Ages, (Boydell Press: 2008) pp. 105-6: Citing; NYCRO, MS ZBO, Bolton Cartulary, fo. 56r.

      John Conyers married his ward, Margaret St. Quintin, who in 1391 was a minor (less than 14 years old).

      Research Notes
      "Anthony son of John died at the end of the 14th century, and left a daughter and heir Margaret, whose wardship and marriage belonged to Richard Lord Scrope. (fn. 27) He married Margaret St. Quintin to John Conyers, 'a servant of his own,' (fn. 28) who became the ancestor of the Conyers of Hornby. "
