Family notes:

·         The genealogies of this family come in multiple forms. It is possible that Robert is not a descendent of this William, although the dower deed of 9/20/1510 and timeline is convincing evidence – see (92342). It is possible that Mary is a d/o William – but the timeline does not support the relationship.
