He bore azure, a bend argent, cotised between six martlets or. He had 1, Adam; 2, a daughter, married John Butler; 3, Adam de la Bere of Knolston, in Gower; 4, Sir John de la Bere of Weobley Castle, in Gower, who had a moiety of Marcross manor. He married Agnes, daughter and co-heir of Sir Payne Turberville, of Coity, and had Elizabeth, married to Oliver St. John, and Margaret, married first Roger Dennis, and secondly Sir Elias Basset.
