      Said to be so called from his being barber to Humphrey, Earl of Stafford (afterward Duke of Buckingham).
A footnote to a review in volume XI (N.S.) of the Salt Societies' Collections for a history of Staffordshire reads "Harwood has a foolish tale that the first Barbour of Stafford attained his wealth and position as confidential barber to Duke Humphrey of Buckingham - a sort of prototype of Oliver le Dain. It is sufficient refutation to point out that this Thomas Barbour was Member for Stafford in 1402, before Duke Humphrey was born."^1,2

Wiltshire. Humfrey, Earl of Stafford, of Wexcombe, and Thomas Barbour, of Stafford, gentilman, were attached, at the suit of William Lhuyde, the elder, Hugh Lhuyde, William Lhuyde, the younger, John Lhuyde, and Thomas Lhuyde, for breaking into their houses and closes at Wexcombe, and taking their goods and chattels, to the value of £10, viz., linen and woollen clothes, brass and wooden vessels, and other utensils of the house, and for which they claimed £100 as damages.
The earl appeared by attorney, and stated that the plaintiffs were his villein tenants, and therefore could not maintain an action against him. And Thomas stated that he was a servant of the earl, and as the plaintiffs were fugitives and rebellious villeins of the earl, he had taken possession of their goods by order of the earl, as was lawful. The plaintiffs replied that they were freemen, and appealed to a jury, which was to be summoned for the Octaves of the Purification, unless the King's Justices of Assize came first to Marleburgh, on the Saturday after the Feast of St. Chad. A postscript states that on that day the parties appeared at Marleburgh, and a jury of the county found that the plaintiffs were freemen, and assessed their damages and costs at 20 marks, m. 11

Wiltshire. In the suit of William Lhuyde, Hugh Lhuyde, and others, against Humfrey, Earl of Stafford, and Thomas Barbour, of Stafford, for illegally taking their goods and chattels, and in which the defendants had pleaded that the plaintiffs were villein tenants of the earl's manor of Wexcombe, but in which a verdict had been given in favour of the plaintiffs at the Assizes at Marlborough; the Earl and Thomas Barbour now appealed to a jury of twenty-four to convict the first jury of a false verdict. And the suit being moved by writ of nisi prius, to be heard in the county, a jury of twenty-four was empanelled at Devyses on the Thursday after the Feast of the Conception of the Blessed Mary, when a verdict was given in favour of the original plaintiffs, stating that the jury of twelve had given a, good and legal verdict. The Earl and Thomas Harbour were therefore in misericordia
