=============================

"This William (d. 1532) was born presumably about 1480-85, for he served in 1513 in the French wars, where his courage won him the appellation of "Stout William." The children of William were named in the 1623 Visitation, viz.: Richard, William (d.s.p. 1567), John, Robert, Alice (wife of Robert Cresset), Cecilia (wife of Richard Morton), and Elizabeth (wife of Thomas Eyton)."
