You are confusing people and names.
Godfrey of Brionne's son Count Gilbert had two sons: Richard fitz Gilbert
whose descendants were the Clare family (later earls of Gloucester and
Hertford), and Baldwin fitz Gilbert whose son Richard was sheriff of Devon.
But this Richard (died 136) had no known offspring, and the later earls of
Devon of the Redvers family were descended from another Richard (de Reviers,
not fitz Gilbert) of unknown parentage.
