  i. Thomas Henshaw of Hookland Park (a 1680, d before 1705)
  Berry shows this Thomas as father of Philip (dsp) and an unnamed daughter who married Thomas Tipping. However, VCH (Sussex, vol 6, Part 2 (Bramber Rape), 'Shipley: Manors and other estates'), which reports that Hookland Park came to Thomas from Bishop Joseph, suggests that Philip was father of that daughter, as follows.
  a. Philip Henshaw of Hookland Park (d 1753)
  VCH (Berkshire, vol 3, 'Parishes: Thatcham'), following the ownership of Henwick, supports the view that Philip was father of Thomas & Anne and identifies Philip's wife as ...

  B. Joseph Henshaw, Bishop of Peterborough (b 1608, d 1679, formerly Dean of Windsor)
  Surprisingly, Berry does not (in this Henshaw pedigreee) identify Joseph as the Bishop but does identify his wife as Jane, dau of Richard May of Lavane. However, from VCH (Shipley, reference as above) it seems that this must be the Bishop. In his pedigree on the May family, Berry identifies the wife of Bishop Joseph as ...
