| (1) | Richard Beke | ||||||||||||||
| The Richard who married Coluberry Lovelace is shown by Lipscomb as son of Richard son of Richard (with no earlier ancestors) and as having died on 06.01.1627 aged 31. T&G shows that Richard as alive in 1634 with his eldest son being the Richard who b 1596, d 08.01.1627-80 (and notes that that son Richard was omitted by Visitation (Berkshire, 1634)). Provisionally, having noted that (according to T&G) Thomas above d 1547 and Chief Equerry Richard was alive in 1532 & 1596, we presume that they are both wrong (!) as we suspect that there was an intervening generation between Chief Equerry Richard and the Richard who married Coluberry Lovelace. | |||||||||||||||
