A. | John Gostwike of Willington | ||||||||||||||
BEB1841 is somewhat skimpy on this family until Sir John (Master of the Horse) & Margaret St. John who is shown as father of this John. Following Visitation, we show that Sir John as this John's great-uncle (above). | |||||||||||||||
m. Elizabeth Petre (dau of Sir John Petre or Peeter of Ingatestone) | |||||||||||||||
i. | Sir William Gostwick of Willington, Sheriff of Bedfordshire, 1st Bart (b 02.12.1565, d 19.09.1615) | ||||||||||||||
BEB1841 inserts another generation here, showing this Sir William as son of an earlier William by Martha Ratcliffe, dau of Sir Humphrey Ratcliffe of Elnestow & sister/coheir of Edward, 6th Earl of Sussex. TCB & Visitation omit that generation. We believe that BEB1841 has confused this William with his father's cousin, William of Shefford, shown above. | |||||||||||||||
