Vol 8 of Sussex Arch. Journals are quite clear on the wives of Goddard and Thomas. and in the footnotes for proofs they say that Visitation is wrong. In my reseach on the Echyngham family and following the land as it moved down the descendants it became evident that it finally lended up with the Trywhit family via the marriage of Elizabeth Echyngham, daughter of Thomas to Goddard Oxenbridge as his first wife and Anne Fiennes was his second wife. Thomas was son of Elizabeth and Goddard and he passed the land on down to his daughter who married Robert Trywhit. The Vol 8 as noted by Tim Powey=Libby is very clear and helpful on this family.
