| We have been advised by a contributor (MF, 10.05.09) that DNB has an entry for the undermentioned John, 1st Lord, which reports that he was the 2nd but eldest surviving son of Thomas Colepeper (d 1613) and Anne Slaney (d 1602, sister of Mary, Lady Weld). MF notes that Thomas is presumed to have been an intervening generation between Sir John and Lord John and that Anne Slaney was dau of Sir Stephen Slaney, Lord Mayor of London in 1595. PROVISIONALLY, we insert that additional generation but note that the BHO source referred to below (on Colepeper of Leeds Castle) supports TCP in identifying Lord John as "only son of Sir John Culpeper, of Wigsell". | |||||||||||||||
