Patrick and all, They are also behind Alice Freeman Tompson Park. Lee seems to have the better handle on this. There is also a Danvers genealogy which concurs, but may be dependent on Lee. Sorry, I don't have notes to hand.

According to the Westminster Abbey website's biographical squib about William Fowler, father of Richard, Joan was a "daughter of Henry Danvers, mercer of London." (At www.westminster-abbey.org/archive/our-history/people/ william-fowler.) Wikipedia's article about Richard Fowler repeats this claim about Joan Danvers' parentage. But Frederick George Lee's 1883 _History, Description and Antiquities of the Prebendal Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Thame_ transcribes (on p. 299-300) a 1483 IPM for Sibilla Quartermayns, who died in the same year, that seems to pretty clearly indicate that Richard Fowler's wife Joan Danvers was a daughter of John Danvers (d. 1449) and Joan Bruley.  Richard Fowler's wife is called "Jane...daughter of Jane, wife of John Danvers and daughter of Matilda, one sister of Richard Quartermayne." Joan Bruley's mother was Maud Quartermayne. Am I offbase?  Is there any reason to suppose the Westminster Abbey site is correct about this Joan Danvers' parents? -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden pnh@panix.com about.me/patricknh http://nielsenhayden.com/genealogy-tng/index.php ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GEN-MEDIEVAL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
