In reading the profile of Elizabeth's father : General Sir Thomas Baskerville, of Goodrest
and her mother: Mary Scudamore

There is no mention of either having a daughter Elizabeth. Profile states their only child together being Hannibal Baskerville Esq. What do you think?

Agree. There is nothing to suggest Elizabeth Lightfoot as a child of General Sir Thomas Baskerville, of Goodrest & Mary Scudamore

Even more notes:

I do not see the evidence that Elizabeth's maiden name was Baskerville. It looks like someone may have reached out to Cheshire or Lancashire for a marriage between a Richard Lightfoot and Elizabeth Baskerville, judging by the "change history." I checked familysearch and findmypast for Richard Lightfoot's marriage to Elizabeth about 1587, but no such marriage is listed. I used the global search and did not just focus on Devon or Moretonhampstead or any other close place. The marriage could have occurred in Lustleigh parish, next door to Moretonhampstead, but its church records have not survived from this time. Moretonhampstead's church records do not survive from the 16th century either. I checked the published marriage licenses for the diocese of Exeter for ten years on either side of 1587 and did not see any Lightfoots. Richard's marriage very well could have been in Moretonhampstead or Lustleigh, and if so, is likely not to be recoverable. I don't know where the surname Baskerville came from, but without a marriage record to give Elizabeth's maiden name, I think it is very likely to be incorrect.--Greg Ramstedt, 20 January 2017

Also, where did the name Huggin come from? I don't think it is accurate.--
