Families covered: Atkyns of Hempsted, Atkyns of Hensington, Atkyns of Saperton
| Commoners includes a note on various Atkins families, indicating that various of the Yorkshire & Gloucestershire branches descended from Thomas Atkins of Monmouthshire (d 1401). Commoners suggests that the Saperton branch descended from Richard who dvp under age in 1610 having had 3 sons - Richard (heir to his unnamed grandfather who "had large properties in Monmouthshure and Gloucestershire"), unnamed, and Sir Edward of Saperton Hall. Le Neve starts with that Richard's apparent grandfather but, unless a generation has been omitted, that Richard outlived his father by about 49 years. The following comes from Le Neve with some comments added from Commoners. | |||||||||||||||
