Research Notes

Differing interpretations of the family of origin exist between the probate document of Elizabeth's brother, Sir Edmund, and The Baronetage of England text. However, given the density of the Baronetage text, the more precise detail in the probate document should prevail. Nevertheless, the version of the probate document that is referenced is a transcribed version, and an original source would be preferable.
