| Both Maddison and the (Harleian) editor of the Huntingdonshire Visitation used the spelling "Sapcotts" for the title of their entries on this family but, although Maddison used "Sapcotts" within the pedigree itself, Visitation (Huntingdonshire) used "Sapcote". [As far as we are aware, there is no connection between this family and the Shapcotts of Devon.] As noted below, there are disagreements between the two records. Maddison started with ... | |||||||||||||||
| John Sapcotts of Elton, Huntingdonshire | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | John Sapcotts or Sapcote of Elton (d 05.01.1500/1) the first mentioned by Visitation (Huntingdonshire) | ||||||||||||||

| A. | Sir Richard Sapcotts or Sapcote of Elton (d 1543) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation (Huntingdonshire), supported by Visitation (Rutland, 1618-9, Sapcotts), shows Sir Richard as father, by Anna Vaulx, of John, Thomas of Burley & William with John being father of Sir Richard who, by Christiana Hungerford, was father of Robert of Elton. Maddison acknowledges this by note but shows Sir Richard as married firstly to Anne Vaux (having issue but not identifying them) and secondly to Katharine Hungerford, by whom he had Robert, and thirdly to Christian. We follow Maddision but add Thomas & William as follows: | |||||||||||||||

| iv. | Robert Sapcotts or Sapcote of Elton (b c1526) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation (Huntingdonshire) shows Robert as married firstly to Eleonora Prestland (mother of Eleonora who married Henry Sapcote of Bracebridge) and secondly to an unnamed wife (mother of Bridget & Frances). Maddison shows as follows: | |||||||||||||||
| m1. Catherine Prestland (dau of William Prestland of Cheshire) | |||||||||||||||
| a. | Eleanor Sapcote | ||||||||||||||
| m. Henry Sapcote of Bracebridge @@ below | |||||||||||||||
| m2. Eleanor Prestland (dau of William Prestland of Cheshire, sister of Catherine) | |||||||||||||||
| Maddison shows the following connections with wavy lines, indicating that he was not certain that Robert & Eleanor were parents of Frances & Bridget. As mentioned above, Visitation (Huntingdonshire) shows Robert as their father but not by Eleanor. The identity of the mother of Frances & Bridget must therefore be treated as uncertain. | |||||||||||||||
