It has involved tracing casual records to their sources, and proving their authenticity by documentary evidence, thus clearing fact from tradition. Interwoven in the drab of the fabric various accounts from the romantic past have appeared, thus adding to the cold facts of vital records, interesting threads of color. It has been the purpose of the compiler to establish the ancestry of William Clopton of York (now New Kent) County, Virginia. To this end she has made repeated visits to England where authentic documents were consulted. This search of the source records made personally, has been rewarded through her persistent effort. With the assurance that what she now offers to Clopton descendants is a solid structure, built on documentary evidence, she begs to state that, having proved the English lineage of William Clop­ ton of York County, Virginia, her real task is finished. But in addition ap attempt has been made to add to this, a record of his American descendants to the ninth generation, accompanied by copies of several documents obtained from personal research in this country. Great effort has been m.'\Cle to secure accuracy but for errors that may appear in family data she begs the kind indulgence of the reader. During the past summer, 1939, there were such rewarding results in Epgland of a hitherto baffling search for the maternal ancestry of William Clopton, that the publication of the book was delayed to include them. (See Jolye-Sutcliffe Notes and four wills in Addenda.) In presenting abstracts of original records the spelling of names therein employed has been followed even when variously spelled in the same document. The ar:·angement of this volume is simple. Each child is given a number, and a plus sign before the name indicates that the said child is carried for­ ward as a family number, which development is carried on throughout the book. A chapter is devoted to English and American Wills, but it seemed feasible to place charters, deeds, etc., with the generation concerned. As far as possible definite pages of reference books used have been_indicated but a list is given of source material. [vii J ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Herein is expressed my sincere thanks and gratitude to all who, in what­ ever way, have aided in this work, but special mention is due Mrs. A. E. Rowan, London, England, for valuable research and translations; E. N. Geijer, Esq., Rouge Dragon and Hon.

The active proceedingsof our Institute are now so far in excess of its original " Proceedings" that the latter, which should be the greater, can contain but a summary of the less. These began on.18th May when seven villageswere examinedwith more or less thoroughness. Recent excavation, immediatelyon the north side of Bricett Priory church,had revealedthe base of an apsidal chapel, as the Hon. General Sec. explained therein ; the most interesting and primitive structure of this little-restored fabric was pointed out ; and the very curious Trans.-Normansouth doorway,which is beautiful and 71 by 3/ feet broad though badly weathered before the modern porch was erected. It was given by the Crown to (SS. Mary Kings and Nicholas)collegein Cambridge,who held it till 1921. Some account was offered of both Wattisham and Bildeston churches in situ, the latter of which proved of much interest in its inaccessibleparvis, once the local prison, whereto Members aicended by means of an improvised ladder from the nave ; St. Leonards Chapel, in that erstwhilemarket-town, was glanced at ; and a newly discoveredcruciferouscoffin-lid,ofsome fourteenth-century ecclesiasticin Semer graveyard, examined. At Lindsey Castle the earthworks were scaled to the grass-grown keep, where Mr. Redstone expatiated upon the connectionof this .fortress with the powerfulDe Cokefeldfamily and its descent to the eventual heiress Nesta, who founded Kersey Priory. One of her three husbands may have similarly founded the adjacent Chapel of St. James, a gem of EEnglish work, retaining a very considerableproportion of its originalstructure but now put to the vile uses of cow-sheds.

    THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/28/96 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the will, dated 12 March 1540 and proved 11 May 1540, of Margery Wentworth Waldegrave (buried 7 May 1540), whose great-grandson, Sir William Waldegrave (c.1540 – 25 August 1613), was a co-guarantor, with Oxford’s first cousin, John Darcy (d.1581), 2nd Baron Darcy of Chiche, of Oxford’s debt to the Court of Wards. In 1572, Sir William Waldegrave and Lord Darcy jointly entered into guarantees amounting to £5000 for Oxford’s debt to the Court of Wards (see TNA C 2/Eliz/T6/48). For Sir William Waldegrave, see the will of his father, Sir William Waldegrave (1507?-1554), TNA PROB 11/37/466. The testatrix’ will reveals the close ties between the Waldegrave family and the Earls of Oxford: And I will that my son, Anthony Waldegrave, shall have the chain that was my Lord of Oxenford’s. TESTATRIX’ RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER MEMBERS OF THE WENTWORTH FAMILY The testatrix was the aunt of Sir John Wentworth (1494-1567) of Gosfield Hall, friend and executor of John de Vere (1516-1562), 16th Earl of Oxford. For the will of Sir John Wentworth, see TNA PROB 11/49/288. For the will of the 16th Earl in which he appoints the testatrix’ nephew as one of his executors, see TNA PROB 11/46/247. The testatrix was also the aunt of Henry Wentworth (died c.1545), whose grandson, Lord William Wentworth (1555/6-1582), married Oxford’s sister-in-law, Elizabeth Cecil (1564-1583).
