The sources quoted for his ancestors which seem to be the main/only sources before 6 generations earlier for Hawise (Kevelioc) de Quincy seem accurate when compared to the downstream profiles on Wiki-tree and upstream ancestors compared to generally available sources. The exact same sources give him a brother Rafe of Moulton who I have traced upstream to be an ancestor but I can't add him as I am not pre-1500 certified, though I am Working on this (as of 20 November 2022)

see REFERENCE STARTS HERE **<ref>(accessed 20 november 2022) Huxley of Sidwall the visitation of cheshire 1580 Robert Glover page 130-131https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=hlYN_LmEu8YC&pg=PA27&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false<ref/>REFERENCE ENDS HERE** from a book edited by John Paul Rylands in 1882 and digitised as per link in references his preface says that the book is a transcript from 2 almost identical manuscripts in the British Museum (No.1424 and 1505 in the Harleian collection) the book is mainly based on the Visitation of 1580 with numerous additions and continuations including those from the 1566 visitation (1580 and 1566 being both made by the same Herald, Robert Glover, for William Flower, Norroy King of arms) and he says that where there are differences between the two manuscripts he has noted them, there were none seen in the family trees an which my comment is based or in his comments on the errors in his preface my suspicion is that whoever added the profiles to Wiki-Tree didn't pursue the branches of the tree labelled in heavy Gothic script B leading to Rafe, C leading to David or D Nicholas...
