Eve (f), widow of Nicholas TREGOZ (died shortly before 2 June 1279), of Tolleshunt 
D'Arcy, Essex. [Complete Peerage XII/2:150, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(f) She is commonly described as Eva Criketot, presumably of the family of Criketot of 
Ousden, Suffolk.

Note: A number of people on SGM have expressed doubts as to Eva being a Criketot 
based on chronology.

In the following post to SGM, 20 Feb 2004, Douglas Richardson suggests that Eve 
was a Pecche (although certainly not proven I will at least temporarily adopt the 
suggested ancestry):

Dear Jay ~

If I had to venture a guess, I would think a good bet is that Eve, wife of Nicholas 
Tregoz and Robert de Valoines, was probably the daughter of Gilbert Pecche (died 
1291) by his 1st wife, Maud de Hastings, which Maud was a possible daughter of 
Henry de Hastings, by Ada of Huntingdon. If so, the Hastings-Huntingdon connection 
would explain the later intermarriage between the Valoines and Comyn families. The 
Comyn family was Scottish, as was Ada de Huntingdon's family.

I read someplace that Gilbert Pecche (died 1291) was styled "king's kinsman," which 
statement is probably true. Unfortunately, I haven't found the specific citation to verify 
this allegation. Gilbert's mother, also named Eve, was a foreigner. My guess is that 
Eve was a near kinswoman of King Henry III of England. If correct, then it would 
explain why Gilbert Pecche was called "king's kinsman" and why Eve (_____) 
(Tregoz) de Valoines was called "king's cousin." These suggested kinships should be 
labelled mere speculation until further records can be consulted.

I've always assumed that Eve, mother of Gilbert Pecche, was French. However, I 
suppose it's possible that she could be Scottish. Andrew MacEwen, the great Scottish 
scholar, has proven that Fergus of Galloway was the paternal grandfather of Eve Fitz 
Uchtred, wife of Walter de Berkeley, of Red Castle, co. Forfar, Chamberlain of 
Scotland. The Galloway family are known kinsfolk of the English royal family.

For interest's sake, I might point out that Gary Boyd Roberts' new RD 600 book, 
shows that Gilbert Pecche (died 1291) is ancestral to three colonial immigrants, Jane 
(Lawrence) Giddings, Judith (Everard) Appleton, and Margaret (Halsnode) Denne. If 
Gilbert Pecche is the father of Eve (_____) (Tregoz) de Valoines, he would further be 
ancestral to many more colonial immigrants.

This matter requires further study.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
