• Notes

  Edward was the 5th Lord Dudley. He apparently fathered children at an early age, as he was grandfathered by the time he was 35 years old. He had 11 children by his mistress, Elizabeth Tomlinson. Mistresses were common in those days, as marriages were arranged to maintain a family's power. He actually had his first child by her the year before he was married to Theodosia and had his first legitimate son. Theodosia moved to London by the year 1690 according to first hand research done by Lynn van Rooijin McCullough. There is a record that states that Elizabeth went to live with Sutton and it would appear likely that she helped raise his children, her children and his grandson Ward. Elizabeth Tomlinson also remembers Lord Dudley's children by Theodosia in her will.
