NOTE: Many genealogists thought that Eva/Eve was a daughter of Matthew de 
Torrington, as exemplified by the post to SGM below:

Thomas de Tracy's father can be readily identified as being Henry de Tracy (died 
1274), Baron of Barnstaple, Devon, which Henry was the son and heir of Oliver de 
Tracy (died 1210), of Barnstaple, Devon, by Eve, probable daughter and co-heiress of 
Matthew de Torrington. [Douglas Richardson, soc.genealogy.medieval, 1 Dec 2004]

HOWEVER further research by Douglas Richardson indicates that Eva/Eve was a 
daughter of Fulk FitzWarin, as given below:

Dear Carolyn

Thank you for your good post.

In answer to your question, when I mentioned the evidence in the Curia Regis Rolls 
which proved Eve's identity and parentage, I was speaking of Eve, daughter of Oliver 
de Tracy, NOT his wife, Eve. As I stated in my original post, Eve de Tracy the 
daughter married Warin de Bassingbourne. The evidence to prove this marriage is 
found in Curia Regis Rolls. So, no I haven't changed my position on this marriage. 

Regarding the senior Eve, wife of Oliver de Tracy and Thomas de London, it has 
commonly been thought that she was daughter and co-heiress of Matthew de 
Torrington. This was thought probable, as Eve's son, Henry de Tracy, is known to 
have had a one-fifth interest in the Torrington family estates. However, in recent time, 
I've determined that Henry de Tracy bought his share of the Torrington estates from 
one of the Torrington heirs. This would necessarily exclude Henry's mother Eve from 
being one of the Torrington heiresses.

My research indicates that Eve, widow of Oliver de Tracy and Thomas de London, 
was instead a probable daughter of Fulk Fitz Warin, of Whittington, Shropshire, by his 
wife, Hawise de Dinan. Eve's maritagium appears to have consisted of land in 
Westbury, Wiltshire, which property she held under the Fitz Warin family. The name 
Eve runs in the Fitz Warin family. Also, we know that Eve de Tracy had a daughter 
Hawise de London, presumably named in honor of her mother, Hawise de Dinan. 
Chronology, naming patterns, and land ownership are all agreeable. 

If anyone has particulars which would shed further light on the Fitz Warin-Tracy-
London connection, I'd appreciate hearing from them here on the newsgroup. 
Needless to say, this is a most interesting group of families. I imagine most posters 
here on the newsgroup descend from these people.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
