Errata

In The Haviland Genealogy, p. 20, Eduardo Haviland Hillman theorized that James had another son, Christopher de Havilland, who was Bailiff of Poole in 1553 and Mayor of Poole in 1569. The theory is based partially on Visitations where descendants were asked to present their family tree, which sometimes led to errors that became part of the official record (and thus recorded in Burke's Landed Gentry. ^[2] But there is no evidence at all that the Christopher in question was the son of this James de Havilland, nor the potentially fictitious James de Havilland in the 1895 version of the Chronicle de Havilland. There is evidence, however, that a John de Havilland, Mayor of Poole 1514, 1520, 1526 and 1534, who purchased the Manor of Wilkeswood in the Isle of Purbeck around 1530, was the father of said Christopher of Poole.
