Notes

It is theory that James is the father of a son named Frances and not a daughter named Frances. If he's a son, then it would be logical that Frances had a son named Samuel. Samuel named his first daughter Frances.

It's also possible that Samuel is the son of a Thomas as his 2nd daughter was named Thomasine. If this 2nd theory can be proven to be correct, James above had a brother named Thomas. They were both sons of a Thomas Forte and lived in South Petherton. Thomas was the son of Roger who lived in Curry Rivel. A possible peer to Roger was John Forte who left a will on May 24, 1563. John's will can be ordered from the National Archives in the U.K.

There is also a Thomas Forte of Shepton Bechum who left a will in Taunton in 1577 in vol. 5, pg. 313. His possible father is John, the Elder who died in the same place in 1558. (2, 213)
