> That he wanted people to believe he was can be easily discarded if he wanted so he would have put it in many if not all of his documents not only in his will that I'm sure that most of the colony did not see. About the College of Arms. From H.Allen Curtis ´In a letter dated 9 February 1953, Captain de La Lanne-Mirrlees, then Rouge > Dragon pursuivant, of the College of Arms agreed that Thomas Dudley was entitled to > the use of the Sutton-Dudley coat of arms, and that his seal provides “reasonable, though > inferential proof” of Thomas Dudley’s paternal lineage.` I will refer you to the archives and not rehash this here again, but aside from the college at arms in 1953 having as much ability to declare these things as your uncle Bob, the statement is internally contradictory to say that he both "was entitled" but that the lineage is only "inferential". --Joe C
