| Foster shows alternatives for the early generations of this family. Normally precedence is indicated by showing one in normal font with the less-favoured ancestry being shown in italics. However, Foster notes that the italicised version comes from the 1612 Visitation, implying that Richard St. George (the producer of that Visitation) favoured that version over the version given in the 1584-5 Visitation (produced by Robert Glover) which was probably based on the 1563/4 Visitation (produced by William Flower).

| Foster combines the pedigree as from the generation after this William, showing this William separately from William of Gargrave (shown in italics by Foster and below). According to Foster, the 1584-5 Visitation shows this William as father of William (elder, m. Agnes Browne), John (m. Margaret Scargill), Robert & Thomas. Flower's 1563-4 Visitation shows William as father of Robert & Thomas (both dsp) & John with that John being father of John (elder, m. Margaret Scargill) & William (m. Agnes Browne). | |||||||||||||||
