Notes
William, Prince of Wales, is descended from Charles,
2nd Earl Grey (see Evans, Ancestry of Diana).
The parentage of Margaret Pearson (number 9) is
unclear. However, the will of
John Grey (number 8) mentions his “Sister in Law Mrs
Grace Peirson” and his niece Grace Weddell, daughter of William Weddell
of Mousen. The will of
Jane Weddle of Mousen, widow, mentions “my Nephew
Caleb Pierson”.
