| (1) The above comes from various web sites. When this page was first produced, particular reference was made to 'Wheeler-King Genealogy Research' on www.pwwphoto.com/gene/WC_TOC.HTM. That site could no longer be accessed when this page was reviewed on 07.10.20 using 'The Pedigree Register'. (2) Both BP1870 & BE1883 start with the following John other than to identify him as grandson of Nicholas "who lived in the reign of Henry VI" (who r. 1422-61). The (web site derived) dates make that look suspect. 'The Pedigree Register' starts with the following John without giving anything about his ancestry. |
