| There is some contradiction in our sources in what the order of Thomas's marriages and the attribution of his children between those marriages. Maddison shows 4 daughters by Grissell Paget, identified as the 1st wife. We support BP1934 (and the London Visitation) in showing her as his 2nd wife as the Harleian editor of Visitation (Suffolk, 1561) reports that she married again after Thomas died which is supported by the Paget page. | |||||||||||||||
