    1. [MDSTMARY] William and Martha Eltonhead Lineage Revision In England
    2. marianne dillow
    3. I posted previously on the Eltonhead line as my 9th great grandparents are Martha Eltonhead that married Edwin Conway. She is a sister to William Eltonhead that came to Maryland. I made an error on my previous posting. Edward Sutton did not marry Theodosia Harrington... wrong Edward Sutton. It should be Edward Sutton and Anne Stanley. I have been in touch with Douglas Richardson who wrote "Plantagenet Ancestry" 2004 and "Magna Carta Ancestry" 2005. I am buying "Plantagenet Ancestry" 2004 but haven't received the book in the mail as of today. The Eltonhead line goes back to Henry II, King of England. Doug Richardson provided me with the following lineage as he has proven this line since he wrote these two books and part of the lineage is not in the books. Here is Douglas Richardson's work and my line and others who descend from the Eltonhead line: The basic royal line goes as follows: HENRY II, King of England, by a mistress, IDA DE TONY. WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, married ELA OF SALISBURY. STEPHEN LONGESPÉE, Knt., of King’s Sutton, Northamptonshire, married EMELINE DE RIDELISFORD. ELA LONGESPÉE, married ROGER LA ZOUCHE, Knt., of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire. ALAN LA ZOUCHE, Knt., Lord Zouche, married ELEANOR DE SEGRAVE. MAUD LA ZOUCHE, married ROBERT DE HOLAND, Knt., 1st Lord Holand. MAUD DE HOLAND, married THOMAS DE SWINNERTON, Knt., 3rd Lord Swinnerton. ROBERT DE SWINNERTON, Knt., 4th Lord Swinnerton, married ELIZABETH DE BEKE. MAUD SWINNERTON, married JOHN SAVAGE, Knt., of Clifton, Cheshire. MARY SAVAGE, married (as his 1st wife) WILLIAM STANLEY, Esq., of Hooton (in Wirral), Cheshire. WILLIAM STANLEY, Esq., of Hooton (in Wirral), Cheshire, Stanley, married ALICE HOGHTON (or HOUGHTON). WILLIAM STANLEY, Knt., of Hooton (in Wirral), Cheshire, married AGNES GROSVENOR. WILLIAM STANLEY, Knt., Hooton (in Wirral), Cheshire, married ANNE HARINGTON. PETER STANLEY, Esq., of Moor Hall (in Aughton), Lancashire, married CECILY TARLETON. ANNE STANLEY, married EDWARD SUTTON, Gent., of Knowsley (in Huyton), Lancashire and Hall House (in Rushton Spencer), Staffordshire. ANNE SUTTON, married RICHARD ELTONHEAD, Gent., of Eltonhead (in Prescot), Lancashire. MARTHA ELTONHEAD, married EDWIN CONWAY, Gent., of Northampton and Lancaster Counties, Virginia. Statement from Douglas Richardson to myself: "Since the publication of my two books, I've since found evidence which conclusively proves that Maud de Holand (Gen. 7 above) married Thomas de Swinnerton, Knt. I descend from Elizabeth de Holand, sister of Maud de Holand, so we are distantly related to one another through the Holand family. Marianne Dillow
