(a) Adam the elder had two other sons, John and William, who according to the 
deduction made "Ante", p. 656, note (c), were younger sons. John witnessed as John 
de Puninges a Norfolk charter of the (third) Earl to Lewes Priory, and as John de 
Punigges, in company with the (third) Earl, another Norfolk charter to the priory. After 
his death several benefactions were made to his memory. The (third) Earl made a gift 
to Castle Acre Priory for his soul; and confirmed the gift made to Lewes Priory by 
William and Adam sons of Beatrice de Puningis for the soul of John their brother, 
namely 10 marks, from Poynings mill. This latter gift was confirmed by Adam de 
Ponnynges (the younger), describing it as made by William his brother and Beatrice his 
mother for the soul of John his brother. Another commemorative gift was made by 
William de Chesney and Aubreye his wife, which Aubreye is described as sister of 
Adam son of Adam de Pynyngis in a charter post 1164. This evidence suggests that 
John died after his father Adam the elder, who must therefore have died during the 
tenure of the Earldom by the third Earl, and therefore before his departure for the 
crusade in 1147. [Complete Peerage X:657, note (a)]

Note: William de Warenne was the 3rd Earl.
