Research Notes

Sources

Of the sources cited here, none are primary; Robert W. Barnes is the most reliable secondary source, and he reports, "this has been a difficult family to establish" and decries the lack of primary records. ^[4]

The places shown for the earlist generations are especially suspicious. There is a primary record for a Henry Truman in Carlton, Nottinghamshire, as early as 1500, so why would the progenitor of a line that ends 5 generations later in Nottinghamshire be born in Devon?
