  'Notes and Queries' jumps from Richard to William of Burdolston (a 1516), stating that he "can add nothing to Hutchins's account" of the intervening generations. Unfortunately, we have not yet managed to find Hutchins's account within the volumes of his works that we have seen. The intervening generations come from a note in www.geni.com, with thanks to JR (see below) for drawing that to our attention.
