occ: Coroner for the county of York until 1324, Commissioner of Array from 1323
In 1303 Sir Robert was granted lands in Crossland by his father
Sir Robert became involved in a feud with Sir John Eland, High Sheriff of Yorkshire when a neighbour named Exley killed Eland's nephew and then got protection at Crossland Hall.

The quarrel extended with Lockwood of Lockwood Hall and Sir Hugh Quarmby becoming involved. Both these men were killed by Eland one night and he then marched to Crossland where he found the drawbridge up. Early in the morning a servant opened the bridge, letting Eland and his armed men into Crossland. Sir Robert was dragged from his bed, and beheaded with a sword in his own hall. His sons were then invited to have breakfast with Eland.

Fifteen years later Sir Robert's son Adam joined with the sons of Lockwood of Lockwood, Sir Hugh Quarmby and Thomas de Laci in a conspiracy against Eland. In Cromwell Bothan Wood, Adam Beaumont seized the bridle of Eland's horse causing it to go back on its haunches. Eland jumped off and drew his sword but was cut down by the four younger men. these four men were not happy with just killing Eland so they killed his son. Eland's son was shot with an arrow at the Elland Mill dam while he was traveling with his family to church for Palm Sunday. Quarmby was killed in the fray, William Lockwood escaped, and Adam Beaumont joined the Knights of Rhodes and went to fight in Hungary against the Turks. Adam was killed in Spain in 1350.

Roger de Crosland:-: Roger de Crosland has distinction. He is the earliest known, specifically named member of the ancient family of Crosland. Roger was born late 1100s at Crosland Hill in West Yorkshire and married Phillipa, daughter of Ufton. His son was Adam de Crosland and his father may have carried that same name.

 Which Ufton is not mentioned. I assume it to be Robert Beaumont of Ufton. I believe the Beaumont's were there first ,..or it could be a Perkins as the Perkins took over Ufton.. Phillipa de Ufton is 22 great grandmother of Theodore L Durgan

 Alice Crosland: 11th great grandmother of Theodore L Durgan. Alice Crosland was born about 1557 the daughter of Thomas Crosland of Crosland Hill and Marina Hawksworth. He descends from Roger de Crosland

Alice married Leonard Calvert of Kipling and became the mother of George Calvert. George Calvert was elevated to peerage in 1624 and became Baron Baltimore of Baltimore. He was granted lands in America north and east of the Potomac River, lands now known as the State of Maryland, USA.

John Calvert the brother of George became the 10 great grandfather of Ted L Durgan.
