Leo:

Here is the pedigree connecting Sir Hugh Swynford and Margaret Swynford,
wife of Thomas Paunsfote, from "The Manor and Rectory of Kettlethorpe"
by R. E. G. Cole, in _Associated Architectural Societies' Reports and
Papers_, vol. 31, pt. 1 (1911):

1. Hugh de Swynford, knt., of Coleby and Kettlethorpe, aged 28 in 1361;
d. abroad, 1371; m. Katherine Roelt. Their son

2. Thomas Swynford, knt., aged 4 in 1372; Sheriff of Lincs, 1402; d.
1432; m. (1st) Joan Crophill. Their son

3. Thomas Swynford, knt., aged 26 in 1432; d. bef. 1440; m. bef 1428,
Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Wm. Beauchamp of Powick. Their son

4. Thomas Swynford, knt.; b. 1435; of Hanworth, co. Mid., when he
released Kettlethorpe to his father's half-brother William Swynford in
1465. He had two children, Thomas Swynford, son and heir, who d. an
unmarried minor in 1498, and Margaret Swynford, her brother's heir, who
m. Thomas Paunsfote.

I note that if Sir Thomas Pauncefote was born in 1410, he was quite a
lot older than Margaret Swynford.
