Research Notes

Elizabeth Whitney was the daughter of James Whitney, Esq., of Whitney and his wife Blanch, "daughter and Coheire of Simon Mylborne of Tillington Com: Hereford, Relict of Sr. Wm. Herbert, Knight."[9][10]

Elizabeth married Thomas Morgan. Their daughter Ann Morgan married Sir Henry Carey.[11]

Thomas Morgan was named as Thomas Williams in the will of Dafydd ap Gwilym (his grandfather), proved 1524.[4]

Note

Richardson shows mother of Ann Morgan who married Harry Carey as Elizabeth Whitney, daughter of James Whitney (Royal Ancestry, Vol II, p 107 CAREY #15ii, #Richardson), Blanche, daughter of Simon and Jane (Baskerville) Milborne as wife of James (Royal Ancestry, Vol IV p 87 MILBORNE #16, #Richardson).

#Wikipedia shows Ann Whitney, daughter of James & Blanche, as mother. But #Bartrum shows no daughter named Ann for them.

Footnote from WRG: "17. The pedigrees show a daughter Anne, wife of Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon, but he seems to have married Anne Morgan, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Whitney) Morgan, not Anne Whitney. See Melville, op. cit., p. 266." (from James Whitney's page)
