| The following is supported by 'Pedigrees of the Knights' (Le Neve (George Marshall, 1873), p213+). Le Neve indicates that Sir John used the arms "Arg. 3 Roses Gules peirced Or", taken from Robert Sparrow of Ipswich, son/heir of John of Somersham (with mention of 20.06.1594, when those arms were given?) but adds that "this famiy must prove their descent from Rob't son of John". Note that a descendant of Thomas Sparowe of Somersam (a 1419) is shown on Sparrow01. | |||||||||||||||
