WOOLHOUSE INFO

I CAN'T MAKE HEADS OR TAILS OF THIS RIGHT NOW. I WILL NEED TO PRINT IT OUT AND READ IT.

The ancestry of HM's late mother is well documented as deriving in part from colonial Virginia. One such line is that of WOOLHOUSE which intermarried with the BERNARD family, early Virginia settlers. Because of my own descent from a WOOLHOUSE sibling whose line remained in England, I have been investigating the deeper ancestry of the following people who all share the same ancestry, viz.: From: Joseph Hunter's "Familiae Minorum Gentium", Harleian Society Publications, Visitations section, vol. 38, pp. 467-468, pedigree entitled HALLOWES-WOOLHOUSE, Generation I: WOOLHOUSE Siblings: 1A. Sarah, m. (1) George SMITHES, of London, goldsmith and citizen; London alderman and sheriff. He d. 11 July 1615, aged 52 (see "Some Account of the Lord Mayors and Sheriffs of the City of London during the first quarter of the seventeeth century, 1601-1625", (1897) by G.E. Cokayne, pp. 53-54), issue 4 sons and 5 daughters; m. (2) Sir Arthur SAVAGE, Kt, General of HM Forces in France, etc., knighted at Cadiz; d. 13 March 1632, bur. St Mary Staining, London, issue 1 daughter. By George SMITHES, Sarah WOOLHOUSE had three daughters who survived, of whom the second was Elizabeth SMITHES, wife of Edward SEWSTER, citizen and goldsmith of London, who had issue Elizabeth SEWSTER (who married Edward NOTT, brother of Sir Thomas NOTT, Kt [DNB and ODNB] and uncle of Edward NOTT, governor of Virginia, 1705-1706) and George SEWSTER whose widow is named in Genealogical Gleanings in England, p. 94, when his widow, now Elizabeth PARKINS, nee SALTONSTALL, complained about the rapacity of Roger NOTT, the father of Edward NOTT and his Sir Thomas NOTT, and himself a royalist who "suffered much for his loyalty" [DNB]) 1B.
