Has anyone heard of a surname "del Escheker"? The dictionary cites:
"Etymology: Middle English escheker, from Anglo-French, chessboard,
counting table, exchequer."

Feudal Aids
1316
Hundred of Forde:
Villa de Chardeforde Johannes de la Zouche and Alicia Gileberd
(Gilbert?)
This is John, son of Sir Oliver la Zouche and I thought it possible
Alicia was the unknown daughter cited in some references.

British History Online, A History of Hampshire; Parishes--North
Chardford and South Chardford:
William Gerberd (fn. 19) held the manor, which passed to his heir John
Gerberd, who in 1302 settled the reversion of a messuage and 2
carucates of land at Charford after his death on *** Alice del
Escheker***, possibly his wife, for life and then on her son and heir
John, with contingent remainders, if John died childless, to his
brothers William and Thomas and finally to Thomas son of a certain
William Gerberd. (fn. 20) Alice 'Gileberd' was holding in 1316, but in
1344, since William, apparently her grandson and heir, was a minor,
the manor was in the custody of John de Warenne Earl of Surrey. (fn.
21) William Gerberd evidently came of age before 1347, (fn. 22) and
sold the manor before 1353 to Walter atte Bergh or Abarowe, (fn. 23)....

There was a reform of the Exchequer beginning ca. 1316 and "Hervey de
Staunton was a famous lawyer and ecclesiastic. After being Prebendary
of Hustwhait in the cathedral of York, he was appointed a justice
itinerary in 1302, and four years later became a judge of the Common
Pleas. Lord Campbell says he filled a greater variety of judicial
offices than any lawyer in the annals of Westminster Hall. His most
important appointments were those of Chancellor of the Exchequer in
1316, and Chief Justice of the King’s Bench in 1323."

As unlikely as it seems, was she a Staunton?

Thank you for any help.

Yes. You will find the name in this resource:

There's an article entitled "Matthew Cheker" by N. Denholm-Young in
The English Historical Review, Vol. 59, No. 234. (May, 1944), pp.
252-257.

The author states the following variants of the name of this
late-thirteenth-century Matthew Cheker:
de Scaccario, del Escheker, de Lescheqer, de Skakario,

What is the evidence that this John is a son of Oliver ?
There were many John le Zouche's running about at the same time as
1316.
