Sir Thomas Stanley, Lord-lieutenant of Ireland, Knight of the Garter, Ist Baron
Sir Thomas was lord-lieutenant of Ireland in 1432, comptroller of the household and chamberlain to Henry VI., Knight of the Garter in 1456, etc. He married Joan Goushill, daughter of Sir Robert Goushill, by whom he had three daughters and four sons.
As a Knight of the Shire Sir Thomas was summoned as Baron Stanley, 20 January, 1456 ( 34th Henry VI ). Joan or Jean's father was Sir Robert Goushill, Knight of Hoveringham, Notts by Elizabeth his wife ( widow of Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk ) and daughter and co-heir of Richard Fitzalim, Earl of Arundel. She was the daughter of Wilham Bohun, Earl of Northampton, Son of Hamphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, by his wife the Princess Elizabeth Plantagenet, daughter of King Edward I.
Sir Thomas's son, Sir William of Holt, was beheaded as a participator in the conspiracy for placing Perkin Warbeck upon the throne. Sir William was the richest subject in the kingdom, having no less than 40,000 marks in ready money; to which circumstances considering the rapacious disposition of Henry VII may be attributed to his destruction more than his political principles.
Another son, Sir John Stanley, married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Weever, Knight of Weever, County Chester, and by her acquired that estate. From this Sir Stanley descended Lord Stanley of Alderley.
Contemporaries represent Thomas as inheriting all the admirable qualities of his father and grandfather, being brave in the field of war, wise in the senate, just to his Prince, and an honour to his country.

Knight of the Garter 
Notes: Knight of the Garter. Succeeded his father in Mann and his other estates in 1432. He had been knighted some years before his father's death. In the same year he was appointed Lieutenant of Ireland for six years, and shortly afterwards Comptroller of the King's Household. During the first year of his rule in Ireland he called together a Parliament for the redress of grievances; but, being called to England by the King's command soon afterwards, that kingdom fell into great disorder, and he was obliged to return to it in 1435, when he successfully repressed a serious revolt. In 1441 he was appointed one of the Lieutenant justices of Chester, at a salary of £40 per annum. He was one of the Commissioners who treated with the Scotch for a truce in 1448, and, when it was concluded, he became one of its conservators. He also served on a commission for the custody and defence of the town and castle of Calais from 1450 to 1455. During the year 1451 he held the office of sole Judge of Chester, and in 1452 he was commissioned to treat for a new truce with Scotland. In 1456 he was summoned to the House of Peers as Baron Stanley, being made Lord Chamberlain of the King's Household, and, in the following year, one of the Council of Edward, Prince of Wales. He was again appointed one of the Ambassadors to treat with the Scotch in 1460, "but, dying the latter end of the year, the nation was deprived of this very great and valuable person, and the King of one of his best subjects... He was brave in the field, wise in the Senate, just to his Prince, an honour to his country, and an ornament to his family". He married Joan, daughter and heiress of Sir Robert Goushill, by whom he had issue three sons, Thomas, William, and John; and three daughters.
