Quoting Anty Carole to WASHBURN-L on 15 Oct 97: > >Sir Roger de Washbourne /Lady Joan > >Sir John de Washbourne/Lady Isabel > >Sir Roger Washbourne/ Lady Margaret > >John Washbourne /Isabel > >Peter Washbourne /Isolde Hanley > >John Washbourne /Margaret le Poor > >Sir Norman Washbourne/ Elizabeth Kniveton > >Sir John Washbourne/ Lady Joan Mitton The above line has been widely circulated but there is no proof according to "Ancestral Roots of Sixty Colonists" by Frederick Lewis Weis [Baltimore : Genealogical Publishing Co., 1988, 6th edition] pp. xiii, 90. It seems this may be a reasonable probability, but there is no direct proof according to "Some notes on the Evesham branch of the Washbourne Family" by Etwell Augustine Bracher Barnard [Evesham, England : W. & H. Smith Limited, 1914] page 42. For a fantastic ancestry back to Tancred, a Viking, born circa 890 see "Washburn Family Foundations" by Mabel Thatcher Rosemary Washburn [Greenfield, Indiana : Wm. Mitchell Printing Co., 1953]. -- John Clement, 6940 E. Girard 205, Denver, CO 80224-2917 Email: [email protected] Voice: 303-691-0613
