| (1) Visitation (1619), supported by Berry, identifies the arms of this family as "Per pale gules and azure three griffins segreant or". Berry suggests that the undermentioned Richard, whom we show as elder son of William, d c1216. Visitation (1619) may be interpreted (more accurately?) as suggesting that his family had been at Nethersole since that date. BHO indicates that this family descended from Richard de Wolwiche who was enfoeffed "in certain lands lying in Nethesole" by William, son of Thomas de Nethersole, about 1244. (2) HoP ("Robert Nethersole of Dover") mentions that Robert (MP, by 1482-c1556) was 2nd son of a William of Nethersole. It also reports that Robert "appears to have been baptized Richard but to have renamed himself Robert" and that he "is known to have had at least one son, another Robert, who was chamberlain of Dover in 1547". (3) Visitation (1619) starts wth Richard father of Vincent (2nd son) father of John father of John (a 1619?) father of Sir Francis (1587-1659). We surmise that the first Richard probably lived in the 16th century. (4) BHO reports that John Nethersole of Nethersole divided his estate betwen 3 sons (John of Barham, Stephen of Wimlingswold & William of Canterbury) who all dspm and divided the estate again among their daughters. As William's eldest daughter Elizabeth is reported to have m. Jacob Sharpe of Canterbury who d 1774 having purchased the other shares in the estate in 1771-2 (excluding the part on which 'Nethersole House' was built), we surmise that the first John was probably born in the late 17th century and died in the early 18th century. (5) The above leaves various uncertainties as to how the above families were connected. We speculate that they were connected as follows. |

| The following Vincent is the first of 3 generations mentioned in Visitation (Sir George Armytage (1906), Kent, 1663-1668, 'Nethersole') which reports "For the earlier part of this pedigree see Visitation of 1619" but does not provide a connection that we can see in that Visitation.
