But I can’t find the first baron. Where is he at?

See https://books.google.com/books?id=mAo5AQAAMAAJ&lpg=PA101&dq... for Ada discussion.

I do not find a first Lord Sapcote with an Ada daughter listed on

page 223 of Collections for a History of Staffordshire, Volume 5
No. 19. Original deed at Chillington. Ada, the wife of Sir John Giffard, who appears to have been a person of some importance, on her marriage with Sir John must have been jointly enfeoffed with her husband in Walton and Gunston. In this deed she parts with her interest i11Gunston in favour of her son, Peter Giffard. It will be seen that a Basset of Sapcote again witnesses the deed. The Bassets of Sapcotes were lords of Cheadle, co. Stafford, and I suspect Ada was one of that family. Thomas de la Hide, the first witness, served in Scotland with Sir John Giffard in 1319 in the retinue of John de Somery, the Baron of Dndley_ (Vol. VIII of Stajfordshire Collections, p. 40).

Sir Ralph Basset, of Sapcote Had gone missing from Geni.

Recreated.

I think Ada’s in the right family now but more eyes on won’t hurt.

The Bassets had gotten entangled with the Bennets (for reasons that cannot be understood I think), and it's quite possible that in unentangling the Bennets I lost a Basset.

We should give them to the Gunstons also

Emma BASSET was born ABT 1240 in Sapcote, Hinckley, Leicestershire, England. She was the daughter of 2. William BASSET , of Sapcote. She married Robert de GRENDON & Shenstone, Sir BEF 1267 in 2nd wife, son of Robert de GRENDON and Avicia de BRAY , Heir of Shenstone. He was born BEF 1221 in Grendon, Atherstone, Warwickshire, England, and died BEF 1276 in Shenstone, Lichfield, Staffordshire, England

Is she time traveling?

Emme Basset

Yep. She can't fit there.
