| B. | Henry Wentworth of Mountnessing | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation (1612) shows Henry as a generation earlier, as son of Henry Wentworth by Elizabeth Howard. We provisionally follow BEB1841 in showing him in this generation firstly because the dates make this seem slightly more likely, albeit not fully convincingly so, and secondly because there is a suspicion of error in Visitation which shows 2 Henrys for the previous generation, itself not necessarily a problem (the first may have died young), but labelling both as the 2nd son. | |||||||||||||||
| m. Agnes Hamond of Ramesden | |||||||||||||||
| i. | Sir John Wentworth of Little Horksley, later of Gosfield (b 1540, d 13.04.1588, rector of Gosfield) | ||||||||||||||
| BEB1841 identifies Sir John's wife as Elizabeth St. Lawrence (dau of Christopher St. Lawrence, Baron of Howth). We follow the Visitation which is supported by TCP (Howth) in identifying Elizabeth as his daughter and Dorothy Southwell as her mother. | |||||||||||||||

| m. John Barnes (Barney) of Norfolk | |||||||||||||||
| 2. | Roger Wentworth of Felsted, later of Bocking | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation shows this Roger as of this generation but there is a suspicion of error as it identifies him as 3rd son but also identifies Thomas as 3rd son. Noting the confusion above with Henry, it is possible that Roger was 3rd son of Sir Roger of Cobham Hall rather than his younger brother. There are not enough known dates to help clarify the issue. | |||||||||||||||
