Families covered: Weston of Sutton Place
| HoP ("Sir Richard Weston") reports that "The Westons of Sutton first appear in the early 16th century. No relationship has been established between them and an old Surrey family of that name but they were kinsmen of the Westons of Prested Hall, Essex, a family which, on acquiring the earldom of Portland in 1632,would be provided with a pedigree reaching back to the reign of Henry I." The continuation show a connection to the family shown by BLG1952 as producing the Earls of Portland albeit showing them as derived from a Staffordshire family rather than an Essex one. Another old Surrey family, presumably the other one mentioned by HoP, is shown on Weston04. | |||||||||||||||

| 1. | Edmund Weston of Boston, Lincolnshire (d by 1505?) | ||||||||||||||
| BLG1952 identifies Edmund's wife as Catherine, dau of John Camell of Shapwick, and reports that he was father of Sir William & Sir Richard. HoP ("Sir Richard Weston"), which supports some of the following, identifies the mother of Sir Richard as Catherine, dau of Robert Camell of Fiddleford. Visitation shows the mother of Sir Richard & William as Katheryn, dau/heir of John Camell of Somerset (son of Robert) & widow of _ Roughwell, with Mabell & Anne identified as being "by a 2 wife". We follow Visitation and presume to show as follows. | |||||||||||||||
