Notes

Manning and Bray give the death date of 13 as 2 Dec 1651 but Clutterbuck has the date as 2 Sep 1651.

According to Manning and Bray, number 24 died in 1615 aged 40. However, Le Neve states that Sir Thomas died at Oxted on 14 Aug 1605.

Prince Charles is descended from the 4th Duke of Devonshire and Lady Diana Spencer was descended from the Duke’s sister Elizabeth (see “The Ancestry of Lady Diana Spencer” by David Williamson, in The Genealogist’s Magazine, Jun 1981, with additions and corrections in the Dec 1981 issue).
