| BLG1858 starts with Robert Emerson of Glamford Briggs, identifying him as youngest of 3 sons of Edward son of George (## see below ##) and father (by Elinor Wainwright) of the Alexander who m. his cousin Elizabeth in 1666 (that date not being compatible with what is shown by Maddison). We follow Maddison who shows him here and father of Alexander by ... | |||||||||||||||

| a. | Thomas Emerson of Grimsby & Caistor (b 1628, bur 09.11.1667) | ||||||||||||||
| BLG1858 identifies Thomas's wife Mildred Saunderson as "only dau. of George, 3rd Viscount Castleton". Maddison identifies her as ... | |||||||||||||||
| m. Mildred Saunderson (bur 14.11.1667, dau of Thomas Saunderson of Lincoln's Inn) | |||||||||||||||
| Maddison contains 2 overlapping articles on this family (p330+ & p1214+). The 1st shows just one child for Thomas and Mildred, being Alexander (b 1651) who m. Alice Wharton. The 2nd shows 4 children: Alexander of Laceby (d before 18.04.1678, m. Bridget, had 2 daughters: Mildred and Elizabeth, both a 1677), Michael, Thomas, and Mildred (b c1655, m c01.1767-7 Thomas, son of John Asfordby of Saltfleetby). The 2nd shows separately Alexander of Caistor (m. Alice Wharton), without a specific connection to the earlier generations, along with a note "I cannot reconcile Burke's account of Alexander Emerson's descent with the wills. He is said to have been born in 1651, which is an impossibility. His father was born in that year, and in his will, dated 21 March 1677-8, makes no mention of any son. Possibly he was the son of Thomas Emerson, a brother of Alexander Emerson of Laceby." BLG1858 shows him as son of Thomas & Mildred. | |||||||||||||||
