18.  [GARN521] Robert was feudal Lord of the Manor of Soham Hall in Bereford, Norfolk, (1384), and was no doubt descended from the Robert Garnoise who in 1194 held lands in Chippenhall in Fressingfield (Suffolk).

17.  [GARN531] Robert of Heveningham and Beccles (Suffolk), purchased Redisham Hall (1394). He married 1. Aveline; then 2. (1400) [BLAN532] Catherine of Heveningham (daughter of 18. [BLAN521] John Blanchard of Huntingfield, Suffolk). Catherine died 1405, and Robert died May 1411. Both were buried at Beccles where there was once a memorial inscription in the church.

16.  [GARN541] Piers (son of Robert & Catherine) married [RAMS542] Anne (daughter of [RAMS531] Ralf Ramsey by his wife [WELM532] Alice, who was daughter of [WELM521] Sir Roger Wellisham (see WELLISHAM). Piers Garneys died 1451.

15.  [GARN551] Thomas (eldest son of Piers) of Kenton Hall, Kenton (Suffolk), married [FRAN552] Margaret (daughter and co-heiress of Sir Hugh Fraunceys, see HUGH FRAUNCEYS). Thomas died 12th December 1458, and afterwards Margaret married 2. Thomas Peyton of Isleham, of Peyton Hall, Boxsted (Suffolk), died 30th July 1484. Margaret died 1492.

14.  [GARN561] John (born c.1464) of Kenton (Suffolk) married [SULY562] Elizabeth Sulyard (see SULYARD). He succeeded as Lord of the Manor of Kenton (1492 after his mother died). He also held the Manor of Hammonds in Mickfield (1515), and died age 80 (11th June 1524). Elizabeth died c.1527. Both were buried at Kenton. (But in "Suffolk Brasses" by Felgate, 1978, it says Elizabeth died [2nd April] 1539 and was buried at Badley.) The following is taken from "The Churches of East Suffolk" by Bryant (1912):

"Kenton: A brass bears the effigy of a man in armour, with tabard, wife in heraldic mantle, and groups of children, and inscription to John Garneys and Elizabeth, his wife, 1524. The inscription reads:
