1) That the wives and family of Sir John are messed up.
2) That that Sir John Leveson who m Frances Sondes, could not be the father
of that Sir John who m Christian Mildmay.

Christian Mildmay, daughter of Sir Walter Mildmay by his wife Mary Walsingham
was certainly born by 1567 as her eldest son by her first marriage to Charles
Barrett, Esq of Belhowse, Essex, towit Edward Barrett, Viscount Newburgh was
born 21 Jun 1581.

Charles Barrett died 8 Aug 1584, afterwhich Christian married Sir John
Leveson of Haling and had at least one daughter Rachel Leveson who married Richard,
1st Baron Newport by 1614. Rachel has to be born between 1585 and 1606 to fit
these parameters, and I'm suggesting that *this* Sir John was not *more than*
ten years older than his wife thus forcing the issue that his mother could
*not* be that Frances Sondes known to be the daughter of Margaret Brooke herself
born perhaps around 1570

Now that we've established the complexity and unusefulness of the existing
guesses, I suggest rather, that Sir John Leveson of Haling *may* have had two
wives. The first being Christian Mildmay by whom Rachel and Christian (at
least), and the second being Frances Sondes, by whom (at least) Frances (who later
married Thomas Gower, 2nd Bart of Stittenham)

I'm looking at various sources to see if I can find anything which builds or
destroys this theory.
