Who are the parents of Margaret (Wyatt) Allen?

Question

Margaret Wyatt was the wife of Richard Allen of Braunton, Devon and the mother of Thomas and Matthew Allyn, immigrants to colonial New England.  Margaret's profile currently shows parents Walter Wyatt and Joan Pilford, with a lineage jumping back from Devon to Yorkshire (?!?) with a lot of medieval ancestors.

There was indeed a Margaret Wyatt, daughter of Walter, baptized 19 May 1557, apparently the eldest daughter of Walter and Joan (Pilford) Wyatt, who were married 17 Aug. 1556 at Braunton Devon (per Douglas Richardson, "Allyn and Wyatt Families of Braunton, Devon," in The American Genealogist, 57:115-19.)

However, this source also lists a Margaret, daughter of Philip Wyott, baptized on 5 Sept. 1555 at Braunton, Devon.  It appears that there is no way of telling which of these two Margarets was the wife of Richard Allen.

In addition, Margaret's alleged great-grandfather John Wyatt-62 of Braunton, Devon, is currently shown to be the son of Richard Wyatt-256 of Yorkshire -- clear across the country on the other side.  This is exceedingly unlikely; does anybody have a credible source?

Walter Wiatt marries Joan Pitfurd ,Braunton,Devon England.in1556

Devon Marriages Transcription.

Richard Allen marries Margaret Wyott, Sept 24 1583, Braunton,Devon,England.

We have them back this far. Without using Allyn and Wyatt Families.

Have not yet found father of Walter Wiatt who would have been born in abt 1537.

Should be in or around Braunton,Devon.

This line is not valid.  I will be breaking it as it I am concerned some of my corrections do not always make it to the actual profile.

Basically, Adam de la Ford is not a son William de Forz (or de Vivonne).  If you actually trace the references you will come to a blog of someone who who says he made the connection based on pure speculation based on the similarities of the de Forz and de la Ford names.  There is no evidence whatsoever.

We know for sure it is wrong because William de Vivonne died leaving only 4 co-heiress - he had no surviving male children.

Thank you, Joe Cochoit, for your research on this line!

I was trying Margaret Wyatt's DNA ethnicity line. Guess, the problem is 'the wrong information' was put into the line, and the DNA ethnicity line shows whatever information that is put in the line. Good or Bad.

I will check for proper sources next time before posting. :-)

Thank you so much, Joe! :-)

I certainly do not mind you posting these lines like this.  I rather enjoy the challenge of tracking down good sources to prove or disprove a questionable line.  Plus, it is a good way to cleanup some of the bad connections in WikiTree.
