| Westcote shows a Nicholas as 2nd son of this generation. Vivian shows a Nicholas with the following family but does not connect him to the above. Before we reviewed this section using Westcote, we had presumed that Nicholas was brother or cousin of Edmond, rather than his son, because he married the mother of Edmond's son's wife. However, Westcote is clear on this. | |||||||||||||||
