Guedo Westcott

Generation No. 2

2. GUEDO2 WESTCOTT (THOMAS1) was born 1404, and died 1463-1497. He married ALICE GRANVILLE 1420-1452.

• parents: THOMAS WESTCOTT and ELIZABETH LITTLETON

Child of GUEDO WESTCOTT and ALICE GRANVILLE is:

3. i. THOMAS3 WESTCOTT, b. 1462; d. 1492-1553.

6. Guy de Wescote, assumed to be the foregoing Guy, had a son (7) Thomas.

At this point, it can be only surmised that this son Thomas (7) was the Thomas de Wescote, who, about 1400, married Elizabeth Littleton. (W. G. p. 6.) Historians record this Thomas de Wescote as descending from St. Leger Wescote. The second son of Thomas and Elizabeth was named Guido. The name Guy is Danish and in Spanish is spelled Guido and pronounced Gui'do. By a pre-nuptial agreement, Thomas de Wescote had promised to name his first son Thomas, not for himself but for Baron Thomas de Littleton, father of his wife. This son was baptized Thomas de Littleton. The second son, Guido, was named perhaps for his paternal grandfather Guy.

Thomas de Wescote, baptized Thomas de Littleton, was born, according to the History of National Biography, 1909 (vol. xi, p. 1252), in 1422; not 1402 as recorded by Lord Burke and W. G., p. 6. This would make the birth of his brother Guido in the year 1424. It is believed, however, that 1404 is correct, as in 1450, Guido was granted his Coat of Arms.
