Though the immigrant Thomas Wingfield has an extraordinary number of descents
from peers and royalty, there is one line that has, as far as I am aware, been
overlooked by all the lineage books. I don't know if it has been included in
the new edition of _Plantagenet Ancestry_ (which I am told is now at press). I
thought I would post it here for public knowledge.
1. Edward III, King of England
2. John 'of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster = Katherine Swinford
3. Joan Beaufort = Ralph de Neville, Earl of Westmorland
4. Edward Neville, Lord Abergavenny = Elizabeth Beauchamp, daughter of Richard,
Earl of Warwick.
5. George Neville, Lord Abergavenny = Margaret Fennes, daughter of Sir Hugh,
Treasurer to the Household of Henry VI.
6. Elizabeth Neville = Sir Thomas Berkeley, of Beverstone, Gloucestershire.
7. Elizabeth Berkeley, daughter and coheir, of the Vyne, Basingstoke, Hampshire
= (as first wife) Sir George Herbert, of Swansea, MP, brother of William
Herbert, Earl of Pembroke.
8. Elizabeth Herbert = William Owen, lawyer, stated to be born 1469 [DNB],
marriage settlement 10 may 1551, died 9 March 1574. William Owen served
several kings, and had attended the Middle Temple, so the length of his career
is a matter of public record. He was heir of the barony of Kemys, so the birth
and descent from his son George is not in question [IPM, etc.]. So this is
just one of those very long stretches between generations which otherwise would
not be believed.
9. George Owen, b. 1552 [when his father would supposedly have been 82], of
Henllys, Pembrokeshire, d. 26 August 1613, Historian, author of the History of
Pembroke, heir of the barony of Kemys = (2) Anne/Angharad/Ancred 'Obiled,'
daughter of William 'Obiled.'
10. George Owen, died 13 May 1665, Pembroke, York Herald = Rebecca Darrell,
daughter of Sir Thomas Darrell of Lillingstone Dayrell, Buckinghamshire, by his
wife Margery Horne, daughter of Bishop Horne.
11. Mary Owen (first wife) = John Wingfield, bp. 25 June 1623, of Tickencote,
Rutland, York Herald, son of Sir John Wingfield by his wife Frances Cromwell,
daughter of Edward, 4th Lord Cromwell.
12. Thomas Wingfield, the immigrant who died in New Kent County, Virginia.
I also have a descent from Antigone to the Baskervilles. The Antigone I am
talking about was daughter of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester [son of Henry IV].
John Baskerville, clerk, was the Virginia immigrant. Let me know if you are a
descendant.
