| A. | Edward Seymour (Clerk of Hanaper) | ||||||||||||||
| Mackenzie provides the connection from Edward to Henry. Adding the following Edward(s) is speculation. However, HoP ("Edward Seymour of Woodlands") reports that the MP ("1st surv. s.", for whom no marriage is indicated) left no will and that his administrators were his 2 sisters, with no mention of a brother. We speculate that the MP's father was Henry's elder brother. | |||||||||||||||

| b.+ | 2 sisters | ||||||||||||||
| ii. | Henry Seymour of Woodlands | ||||||||||||||
| Mackenzie suggests that Henry was Speaker of the House of Commons but this appears to be in error. | |||||||||||||||
