| We suspect that the following family was not connected to the above one but, because of their arms, was connected to the one shown on Morley03. It appears that the following John moved into Sussex from Suffolk which was certainly one of the areas in which the above family lived. However, Visitation identifies its arms as: "Sable, a leopard's face argent jessant-de-lis (or)". The families share this page for our convenience. | |||||||||||||||
