| These early generations are taken from various web sites which are not always consistent with each other and do not easily tie up with BP1934. Until we obtain more confidence in them, we omit some of the Internet-derived data but include some for the early generations, showing them in italics. | |||||||||||||||

| BP1934 (both Chichester & Yarborough) mention Sir John and his parents and then move to "his lineal descendant" Sir William who m. Mary Carew & Mary Sandys. We suspect but are not at all certain that this Sir John may have been the Sir John (father of Sir John & Catherine) who is the first mentioned by Visitation. It appears that he had at least 3 marriages. In a note, TCP (Zouche or La Zouche of Richard's Castle, of Mortimer, or of Ashby) shows that 1 of them was Joan Bramshott but refers to L.F. Salzman's "The Early Heraldry of Pelham" (not yet seen) "For a discussion of Sir John Pelham's two known and other alleged wives, also of the legitimacy and parentage of his s., another Sir John". | |||||||||||||||
