Notes for Sir Thomas Gresley
Wallop, Vol 2, p. 381, shows ten generations before this Thomas, whom he calls "Sir Thomas de Gresley of Derbys" and shows his dau. Margaret marrying Sir Thos Blount.
In K-R's DD, p. 302, she says that Nigel de Stafford, a Domesday tenant-in-chief, was the ancestor of the Gresley family of Greasley, Derbyshire.

TFPL, Dec 2005: Salvation to the above!
Through Google’s books site, I have found the super book: “Descriptive Catalogue of the Charters & Muniments of the Gresley Family in the possession of Sir Robert Gresley, Bart at Drakelowe” by Isaac Herbert Jeaves, pub London Cha J Clark in 1895. This includes a pedigree of the family taken from those charters and muniments and which links Thomas Gresley to Nigel de Toeni aka de Stafford.
(Now to the enjoyable labour of entering it all up.)

In 1611 a male line Gresley descendant of Drakelow was made a baronet, which baronetcy continues to at least 1900 but in 2003 (BP 107th) it is extinct.
