Note:
Note (from Bob Moore): The Keach article on the Presleys calls Mrs. Ursula Bish (Bysshe) Thompson, grandmother of Ursula Presley, the daughter of Philip Bish of Bristol. This is probably incorrect. She was probably the daughter of Wm. Bysshe of co. Surrey and was a relative of William Claiborne, for whom her husband Richard Thompson worked on Kent Island in Md. I found Ursula Bysshe's ancestry in an English publication at the Library of Congress. Ursula Bysshe's brother Roger had a daughter who married a Shelley, and they were the ancestors of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Ursula's father was William Bysshe, and her mother was Margaret James, sister of Sir Roger James and daughter of Roger James (1565-1596) and Sarah Smith. After Roger's death (at only 31), Ursula's grandmother Sarah m. Thomas Claiborne and became the mother of Richard Claiborne, who in his maturity became secretary of the colony of Va. So one could say that Claiborne was Ursula's "half uncle." Besides being secretary of the colony of Va., Claiborne was also a sort of employee of an English trading company Cloberry and Co. He set up a post for trading with Indians on Kent Island, now in Md.,

John Mottrom's second wife was Ursula Bishe or Bish, widow of Richard Thomson (d. 1649) whom she had married in England prior to 1641. Their children were 1. Elizabeth Thompson, married Peter Presley, Sarah Thompson, married thomas Willoughby (Willoby), and Bish Thompson who may have been a son. (REF: NORTHUMBERLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE 1969, p. 22.) The third husband of Ursula Bish Thompson Mottrom was married to the eldest daughter of John Mottrom and contested the will and claims of the widow.
