Dear Newsgroup ~
Michael Beresford, Esq., of Squerries (in Westerham), Kent, died 1608,
married as his first wife, Rose Knyvet, daughter of John Knyvet. This
marriage is indicated by two Kent Visitation records as follows:
1. Philipot, Vis. of Kent 1619-21 (H.S.P. 42) (1898): 172 (1619
Vis.) (Beresford pedigree: "Michaell Beresford de Squirres in
p[aro]chia de Westram in co' Cantij. = Rosa filia Joh'is Kneute de
.....").
2. Benolte & Cooke, Vis. of Kent 1530-1, 1574 & 1592 1 (H.S.P. 74)
(1923): 28 (1574 Vis.) (Beresford pedigree: "Mihell Beresford of
Oteford in Kent = Rose daughter of John Kneuitt").
One internet source
(http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/briti ... yvett2.htm) identifies
Rose Knyvet, as the daughter of John Knyvet, Esq., of Ashwellthorpe,
Norfolk (d. c. 1551/6), by his wife, Agnes Harcourt. If correct, then
Rose Knyvet would have a valid descent from King Edward III of England.
Can anyone provide any documentation to support the identification of
Rose (Knyvet) Beresford's parentage? Stirnet's source for its pedigree
of the Knyvett family appears to be BP1934 (sub Berners), which I
assume stands for Burke's Peerage, 1934 edition. I have not seen this
source.
For interest's sake, I might add that Rose (Knyvet) Beresford is
ancestral to the current U.S. President George W. Bush, and also to his
father, President George H.W. Bush.

Dear Newsgroup ~
An abstract of the will and inquisition post mortem for Michael
Beresford, Esq., died 1608, may be found at the following weblink:
http://www.hartley-kent.org.uk/history/ ... esford.htm
It appears that Michael Beresford and his wife, Rose Knyvet, were
married shortly before 1564, as their eldest son and heir, George
Beresford, was aged 44 in 1608.
Elsewhere, the A2A Catalogue (http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp)
shows that Rose Knyvet's alleged parents, John Knyvet and Agnes
Harcourt, were married in or about 1538:
Norfolk Record Office: Knyvett-Wilson Family Collection, Catalogue Ref.
KNY 427 371 x 9-agreement in support of marriage settlement dated
1538 between John son of Edmund and Jane Knyvett and Agnes his wife
daughter of Sir John Harcourt.
So, the chronology fits well for John Knyvet, Esq., and Agnes Harcourt
to be Rose (Knyvet) Beresford's parents.
