Christopher born c.1611 Framfield/Buxted, illegitimate? In 1636 Christopher was specifically excluded from any benefit from his maternal grandmother Elizabeth nee LUCKE's will. (It appears that Christopher is not the son of Elizabeth's daughter Mary Knidgwood. Great disruption occurred during the 1640s through to 1661. During that period many parish registers and records were lost. At one time I thought this Christopher could be my ancestor, but I now believe my 9XG grandfather was Christofer 1585 of Rotherfield. | Anthony 7 May 1620-20 Sep 1667 of Hickstead "Mr. Justice STAPLEY of Cowfold" married (1) Rose PELLAT in Nov 1641, 2 children, & (3) & Jane/Jenny STONESTREET, 6 children.

The "clan T" line is proven by STAPLEY Wills click to view. | It is often asserted that William STAPLY's father born 1638 was William who married Ann BLOWER in London in 1661 but died at Twineham in 1663. I think this is very unlikely. |
