| The following comes from Visitation (Cheshire, 1613, Minshull of Nantwich) & Visitation (Cheshire, 1663, Minshull of Stoke). Visitation (1613) shows this Edward as son of Hewen of Clutton (possibly by Jane, dau of James Calveley of Peckforton) son (possibly by Alice, dau of Yewen Clutton) of Nicholas "a second brother of the house of Mynshull of Minshull". The above parentage is as given by Visitation (1663). | |||||||||||||||
| m. Margaret Mainwaring (dau of Hugh Mainwaring of Nantwich) see ### following | |||||||||||||||
| ## There were several marital connections between this family and the Mainwarings of Nantwich. Provisionally we have not made (or have reversed) specific connections between the families until we have researched the Mainwarings more. | |||||||||||||||

| m. Eleanor Griffin (bur 22.03.1614/5, dau of Richard Griffin of Bartherton) | |||||||||||||||
| (i) | Sir Richard Minshull of Burton (Bourton, Buckinghamshire), 'Lord Minshull' (bur 27.11.1667) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation ends this line indicating that Sir Richard had issue. This appears to be the Richard who claimed to have been created a Viscount by King Charles but that title was not proven. TCP ('Minshull') reports his marriage to Alice Lee, mentions that he left a son, Richard (m. and Enyon heiress but dsp), and also reports a report that he (also) married Mary Parkins by whom he had a daughter, Elizabeth, and that he had male-line descendants. Lipscomb (Bucks, vol 2, 'Pedigree of Minshull, of Bourton, Aylesbury, Aston-Clinton, &c.", p590) starts with this Richard and shows his marriage to Mary Perkins by whom he had 2 sons, both called Richard, the elder being the one mentioned by TCP whilst the younger had issue. | |||||||||||||||
| m1/2. (06.02.1635/6) Alice Lee (dau of Sir Humphrey Lee, 1st Bart of Langley, by Margaret, dau of Reginald Corbett of Stoke) | |||||||||||||||

| m2/1. Mary Parkins (dau of Sir George Perkins or Parkins of Runney) | |||||||||||||||
| (b) | Elizabeth Minshull (dsp) confusion with the Elizabeth shown above? | ||||||||||||||
| m. Thomas Cholmondeley of Vale Royal | |||||||||||||||
| We suspect that either the younger Richard mentioned by Lipscomb was not legitimate or that there has been confusion between different Richard Minshulls. The younger RIchard mentioned by Lipscomb had family as follows. | |||||||||||||||
