RICHARD & MARGARET MAY HAVE A WRONG CHILD, ROGER CONNECTED TO THEM, AS ROGER IS THE FATHER OF THOMAS LEIGH WHO WAS MAYOR OF LONDON & MAR. ALICE COVERALL BARKER BUT THOMAS WAS NOT THE GRANDSON OF THIS RICHARD AND MARGARET. THE FATHER OF ROGER WHO WAS FATHER OF THOMAS SHOULD BE RICHARD SON OF JOHN/JENKIN LEIGH & ALICE ALCOCK. EITHER THE CONNECTION OF ROGER TO THESE PARENTS IS NOT CORRECT OR THE CONNECTION OF THOMAS LEIGH TO ROGER IS NOT CORRECT.

• The omission of the family name, as in this case, is frequently met with in such records ; and it was not considered entirely necessary.
  • "Radolphus Lee, living twenty-fifth year of Henry VI., and eighteenth of Edward IV., died nineteenth of Edward IV. Married Isabella, who was a widow, and daughter of Jacob Ridley, twentieth year of Edward IV."
  • This record appears more explicit than any heretofore given. Supposing Radolphus was born twenty-fifth Henry VI. (1447), he was about forty-three years of age at his decease.
  • From the old deeds, we find that his wife inherited property situated in the villages of Haxalls, Acton, Burnell, and Buryton, in Shropshire
    • ' "Richard Lee of Langley, in the county of Shropshire, A.D. 1491, twentieth year of Edward IV. Married Margaret, daughter and co-heir of Fulco Sprenchose, knight."
    • ' Here we observe the first omission of DE, or LE. Richard Lee, the only child of Radolphus, succeeds to the whole estate, and married, as it is further stated in the deeds, the widow of Johis

    • 'Wimsbly, through whom Richard acquired a large estate in Dotinton.
    • ' This Richard Lee is doubtless the "Richard" referred to in our introductory article as enlisting against the Scots.
    • ' From Richard Lee we have seven children, — five sons and two daughters.
      • The issue of three of the sons, Thomas, Rodolphus, and Johannes, is not given. The second son, Richard, married a daughter of Macocks, and lived during the reign of Henry VII.: he left one child, a daughter, who succeeded to his property, and married Thomas Kinaston, of Cotton, in the county of Shropshire.
      • Fulco Lee, the eldest son and heir of Langley, married twice ; first, Alicia, daughter of Henry Cornwall of Birington, in the county of Hereford, of which family, Burke, in his "Landed Gentry of England," says, "The Cornwalls are descended from Richard de Cornwall, who had the manor of Thunneck, in Lin-

George Cornwall Leigh, Esq., of HighLeigh, Cheshire." By his second wife, Richard Lee had one daughter, who married. He is mentioned among the records of the privy council of Henry VIII. as one of the witnesses in a suit of Chandler against Wrotesley for possession of the Lee Manor. Chandler, it seems, made a false accusation, and was made to apologize to Sir Thomas Wrotesley.
      • Margeria, the eldest daughter of Richard Lee, married Thomas Vernon, second son of Sir Henry Vernon of Hodnet, Shropshire, second Earl of Shrewsbury, and who was a descendant of Richard Vernon, a follower of William the Conqueror. By this marriage, there was but one child, a daughter ; and the line became extinct in 1600. Lord George Venable Vernon was made a peer in 1762, and married his second wife, Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Lee of Hartwell, Buckingham, who died Sept. 22, 1742.

• . . . . this John Wynnesbury was Lord, not only of Donington, but also of Humphreston, . . . . He had issue a sole daughter and heir, Margery, who became the wife of Sir Fulke Springsaux, Sprenchose, Sprengehos, Sprencheaux, or Springhose, for so is the name variously written. This Sir Fulke was born in 1420, was Sheriff of Shropshire in 1447, and the name appears in 1453. . . . He left four daughters his co-heirs, married to William Acton of Aldenham, William Sandford of the Lee, near Whitchurch, . . . , ____ Tyndale, and Sir William Leighton, a younger son of John Leighton . . . Here however, we are met by another difficulty, since Sir Fulke Sprencheaux is called son of Sir Nicholas Sprencheaux, Lord of Plash and Donington, and this is confirmed by Harln. MSS., 1,982 and 1,396, which, however, mention a sister of Fulke, who became wife of John Midleton. If then Sir Nicholas Sprencheaux were Lord of Donington, it is not very evident how that Manor could come into the family through his daughter-in-law, Margery, nee Wynnesbury. By a deed dated at Glazeley 23rd April, 19 Edward IV. (1479), Dame Margery Springseaux, daughter and heir of John Weynnesbury, in her widowhood grants to her daughters and heirs, 'Margery Lee', Mary Springseaux, Margaret Tyndale, and Sibilla Sandford, all her Lordships of Glazeley, Madle, Wynnesbury, Plash, Didston, Heyghley, Wyntree, Espes, Dunkshull, . . . . .

• We must now pass on to the issue of Sir Fulke Sprencheaux and his wife, which consisted of four daughters and co-heirs; '1. Margery', 2. Margaret, 3. Sybilla, born 1452, and 4. Mary, born 1558, all of whom are mentioned in their mother's Deed of 1479, though apparently all were then married save Mary.

Warwick, son of Reginald Lee, son of Thomas Lee, by Petronilla, daughter of Sir Thomas Corbet, Knight, son of Sir John, 26 Edward I., son of Reginald, son of Hugo de Le or Lega. Such is the pedigree as given in the Visitation of 1623, . . .
