Dear Leo, Jim Weber, Douglas and others,
Accordis to
David Faris in his original ad 2nd editions of Plantagenet Ancestry of
Seventeenth Century Colonists p 270 (1st edition), Roger Copley, Esq. of Roughey,
Sussex died between 1482 when listed as a member of the Company of Mercers and 21
December 1490 when his elder brother William Copley, Gentleman of Doncaster,
York left a bequest for masses to be said for the souls of his brothers Oliver,
Roger, and Thomas. Roger`s father Sir Richard Copley, kt. of Batley, West
Riding, York was married 1st to Margaret Denton who according to Genelogics. Org
was the mother in abt 1421 of Lionel Copley of Batley who is not referred to
in William`s will. Faris claimed that Elizabeth Harrington, daughter of John
Harrington of Doncester, West Riding, York was Roger`s mother based on William
Copley of Doncaster`s will. So who was He ? if He had been the 4th Lord
Harrington then William Copley rather than William Harrington should have been 5th
Lord Harrington as the title devolved at the latter`s death to William, 2nd
Lord Bonville, the husband of his heiress, another Elizabeth Harrington.
Sincerely,
James W Cummings
Dixmont, Maine USA
