Cony of Bassingbourne

While adding details from a new source
"Ancestors and Descendents of John Coney of Boston, England and Boston,
Massachusetts",

I found a chronological error in my database that calls into question a
lineage
The author of this book is fairly meticulous about baptismal and burial
dates, etc and he states that the Richard Cony of Whissendine who m "a daughter of
Harrington of Bourne" (without calling her "Ellen") was "b abt 1563"

Richard was the son, per this source of Thomas Cony of Bassingbourne, by his
wife Alice Leigh dau of Thomas Leigh, Lord Mayor of London in 1558, which I
already had and so could agree on this point.

However, this author states the eldest son of this couple, "Sir Thomas Cony
knighted in 1603" was baptised 15 Oct 1561

Returning to my issue, that would imply that he is correct that Sir Richard
Cony had to be younger than that.

But the purported mother of Sir Richard's wife, Rose Williams, herself died
between 1545 and 1549. So this unnamed wife had to be at least 14 to 18 years
older than her husband. I don't like that situation.

That then would mean that Sir Richard's mother-in-law is either Judith
Brudenell or possibly Bridget Davenport (d 22 Jun 1601), who alltogether represent
John Harrington's three wives.

Can anyone clarify this situation? That is, which wife was Richard's
mother-in-law ?
Thanks

According to the Harington of Witham pedigree contained in Lincolnshire

Pedigrees, page 461, Eleanor Harington, daughter of John Harington and his
first wife Rose Winter (widow of George Williams, of Denton) married Sir
Richard Cony.

Will, as the Haringtons are ancestral to my wife I would be very interested
to see what you have on them in your database. I would also be interested
to learn details of the descent to the emigrant to America that you
mentioned.

Are you aware that the Haringtons possess a number of royal descents?

How do you know that Rose Winter (widow of George Williams of Denton &
subsequently 1st wife of John Harington) died between 1545 and 1549. Are
those dates the date her will was written and proved??
