  Research Notes:

The first member of the family mentioned in the family records is Odo de Hodnet, 1135-1200; he gave certain lands of Olhmulneshurst near to " le Cote" to Haughmoad Abbey. He died in the second or third year of King John, and was succeeded by his son, Sir Baldwin de Hodnet, Knight, who flourished in the reigns of John and Henry III., and was a person of great note and influence. 1

-----------------------------

Odo de Hodnet attested two Marchamley Deeds, the latest of which probably passed in or before 1194. In this instance he is accompanied by Baldwin his son, and by Alan his brother.

Besides attesting grants to Haughmond Abbey, Odo de Hodnet was himself a Benefactor of that House. 2

  Marriage Information:

Odo possibly married an unnamed daughter of Fulk I fitz Warin.
