Magna Carta Project
- This profile was reviewed/approved for the Magna Carta project by Michael Cayley on 28 May 2020.
- Jane (Corbet) Cressett appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Richard More, to Magna Carta Surety Baron William de Mowbray (vol. III, pages 173-175 MORE). This trail was developed by the Magna Carta project in February 2020 by Thiessen-117 and was reviewed/approved/badged 28 May 2020. Also at this time, other badged trails were identified by the Project from More to surety barons Gilbert de Clare, Richard de Clare, John de Lacy, Saher de Quincy, Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod. All of these trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of Katherine More's profile.
- See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
