| The following is partly supported by Visitation (Kent, 1619, Covert) which names 2 of Richard's wives, Eliza Nevill (dau of John (sb George?), Baron of Abergaveny), shown as mother of George, and Joanna (dau of William Ashburnham), identifying Joanna as the 3rd wife and mother of John. BEB1841 names 4 wives, in order shown above, but does not allocate the children between them. BEB1841 suggests that John was the elder son but that is not consistent with the order shown for the wives if the allocation of children given by Visitation is correct. | |||||||||||||||
