Research Notes

Unsupported First Marriage

Alleged first marriage to "Agnes" not mentioned by Richardson or Scrope (1832), and is not supported by Wikipedia. Cawley (2006), lists a marriage prior to Joan but states that first wife is UNKNOWN. Complete Peerage says that his wife Joan may have been named Agnes.
