Commoners mentions but does not follow the line of this George (b 10.08.1662). Dugdale ends with this generation, showing a George (b c1662). It is possible that this was the George of Bolton-upon-Swale (b 1664, d 13.03.1722) who is the first mentioned in Walker's Yorkshire Pedigrees (1942, Wright of Bolton upon Swale) and shows his descendants over several generations, but the birth date difference holds us back from making that assumption. | |||||||||||||||
