Bad Dog! Spank Spank!
Above I said that Christian (Langley) Wigston was co-heiress "of her
father" John.
Yes and no.
She WAS Co-heiress of John, but John WAS NOT HER FATHER.
He was her uncle. Her father was Edward, his next younger brother.
It's a VERY good thing I did not try to continue Sarah's line *up* the
Peyton's since Christian's mother "Miss Thame" is of unknown paretage.
Mea culpa!

Okay strike two.
He was not her uncle.

appears to have done a much more in-depth look at the available
documents and states that the John who died in 1518 was the three co-
heiresses first cousin, son of their eldest uncle William. Uncle John
who was son number 2 ob s.p. although the Vis Warwick says William
also s.p. but obviously he didn't.
I have more trust in this source, new to me, than in the Vis reporting
on things 150 years earlier.
