Testamenta Eboracensia, Part II [Surtees Society Publication vol. XXX], pp. 200-201 (sub 'Testamentum Hugonis Hercy Armigeri'): The family of Hercy of Grove was equaled in antiquity and distinction by few of the great Nottinghamshire houses. The testator married Elizabeth, one of the daughters and co-heirs of Simon Leeke, of Cotham, Esq. by whom he had issue. The will of Sir Thomas Hercy, the father of the testator, has been printed in the first volume of the York Wills. His widow Catherine is said by Thoroton to have remarried Sir John Constable of Flamborough. He calls her a daughter of Sir Thomas Comberford. Her real name, however, was Cumberworth, and her first husband was Sir Marmaduke, not Sir John, Constable. Sir Marmaduke died in 1404. According to the Visitation of 1584, Catherine Cumberworth became the wife of Sir Thomas Hercy, after the death of Sir Marmaduke Constable.
