About the Waters/Neal connection... For anyone who is interested, Dorman's newest "Purse and Person" cites what must be the same letters as possible evidence that Grace O'Neil was actually from the Neale family of Bedfordshire, and he cites The Visitation as his source for that. I'm on vacation so I don't have access to my desktop files, but The Visitation is on googlebooks and it does show a Grace Neale with cousins John and James. That of course doesn't prove the connection but it is interesting. Dorman may give the source or location of these letters, I don't remember.
