• Notes

  It is complete theory that Richard is the father of Marie/Mary. Her christening record and parentage remain to be found. Richard is simply the closest person living to Weston Zoyland where she married Marmaduke of an appropriate age to be her father. Quite a few of his children are listed in the Somerset records, but I have yet to find where a peer Francis and Margaret Somners christening records are either. Richard is probably the Richard Sommer/Summer who received his B.A. in Mar of 1545/6 and his M.A. in Nov. of 1555 from Oxford University. Here are his notations under the surname Summer. He is listed under both spellings as an alumni of Oxford. Demy: Magdelen Coll(ege). He enrolled in 1541, age 15. He was a fellow from 1546-1548.
