Sources

1. ↑ Weis (2004), writes the LNAB as Windor... it might be a spelling error? However, the name Windor does exist.
2. ↑ the source cited does indeed have their marriage as "abt. 1483", which cannot be right if Elizabeth Andrew is the mother of the two sons named Andrew, the 2nd Andrew was Thomas's heir, born Feb. 1467 (per Richardson - see Elizabeth's profile).
