Families covered: Skeffington of Skeffington (Skevington of Skevington)
| The following comes from Visitation supported, after a few generations, by Berry. We ignore Lodge ('Peerage of Ireland', Archdall, vol 2 (1789), 'Skeffington Earl of Massereene', p368+) which gives a different ancestry for the Thomas who was father of the Sir William who became Lord Deputy of Ireland and then a different connection between him and the John Skeffington of Fisherwick who is shown on Skeffington as the first mentioned by BP1934. | |||||||||||||||
