Richard & Margaret's son John's will mentions his "sister" Joyce and nephew George Carleton.
I don't have the badge for pre-1500 so I can't edit. Would someone be able to edit the part above that says: "Margaret married firstly, Richard Welbeck, esquire, by whom she had a son, John Welbeck. After Richard Welbeck's death, Margaret Culpeper married William Cotton, esquire. John Welbeck's daughter, Joyce Welbeck, was the mother of George Carleton (1529–1590)...." by removing John Welbeck's daughter Joyce, as Joyce is Richard & Margaret's daughter.
Proof of Parentage Mentioned in father Richard WELBECK's will. Legacy left to Joyce in the will of her grandmother, Isobel LEIGH (nee WORSELEY) who was married to Richard CULPEPPER. Brother John WELBECK's will, legacies left to her and her son George CARLETON.
