Thomas Beckwith of York combined the Visitation pedigrees, but he didn't know how, so he guessed. Poulson, Hunter etc copied Beckwith's version. But it's quite impossible, as Christopher of Hull and William MP would be born before their alleged father.

Beckwith's version of the early Thompsons, as garbled by Clay, in Hunter's FMG, vol 2, page 531.

Probably also Beckwith's, as differently garbled by Poulson: vol 2, page 63.
