Number 11 may have been the Sarah Vincent baptised at St Margaret, Westminster, in Nov 1629. Her parents may have been the John Vincent and Sarah Prynne married at St Luke, Chelsea, on 10 Feb 1628 (London Metropolitan Archives, X026/012).
Lodge/Archdall quotes the MI of 14 which gives his date of death
as 1 Mar 1664, but states that this is wrong and that he died in 1662. McKenzie
writes that he died in 1664.
Prince
Charles is descended from numbers 24 and 25 (see Paget).
