| We reviewed this page on 18.06.21 using MGH which starts with Thomas Hopton, "illegitimate son of Sir Robert Swillington, Kt. (died 1391), of Swillington ... by (probably) .... da. of .... Hopton of Armley" and then shows him m. Joanna Perte with them being parents of John ("called John Swillington, son of Thomas Hopton") who m1. Margaret Savile (identified as mother of Sir William), m2. Agnes Heviningham m3. Thomasine Barrington. Noting that the names Robert & Roger were often interchangeable at this time, we would not be surprised if this was true but have nevertheless provisionally left the page basically following Visitation. We will probably revisit this in due course. | |||||||||||||||

| MGH notes that "Isabel or Elizabeth (sometimes represented as two daughters)" m1. William Brewse m2. John Jermy. Following Visitation, we show Elizabeth below as half-sister of Isabel.
