I still haven't given up on my hope for royal connections.

Agnes Harris emigrated to Connecticut in 1630
aboard the Mary and John.

Here's the Descendant line towards me.
1. Agnes Harris m. William Spencer
2. Sarah Spencer (1636-1691) m. John Case (1616-1704)
3. Richard (Capt.) Case (1669-1746) m. Amy Reed/Reade (1678-)
4. Richard (Sgt.) Case (1710-1769) m. Mercy Holcomb
5. Timothy Case (1759-1850) m. Esther Brown (1762-1838)

Recently the newsgroup debunked the royal pretensions of Agnes'
husband William Spencer (`a Whitbred does not a Radcliffe make'),
but what about Agnes Harris herself?

Part of her alleged Ahnentafel follows.
(The line from Margery Hext to Anne Boteler appears in SGM archive
contributions by Ed Mann. Thanks for all the help, Ed!)

1. Agnes Harris (1604-)
2. Bartholomew Harris (-1615), Mayor of Barnstaple.
3. Elizabeth Collamore (1566-1647).
6. Henry Collamore (-1625).
12. John Collamore.
13. Margery Hext (-1551).
26. Thomas Hext (-1550).
27. Wilmot Poyntz (1487-1558)
52. John Hext.
53. Joan/Jane Fortescue (1450-1524).
54. William Poyntz.
106. John Fortescue (1420-1481), Lord of Whympston.
108. Humphrey Poyntz (-1487), Lord of Elkstone.

Ancestors 106 and 108 each has a pedigree going back to an early King.
For example, continuing the table:

216. Nicholas Poyntz
432. Robert Poyntz (1359-1439)
865. Elizabeth de Clanvowe
1731. Philippa Talbot
3463. Anne Boteler
6927. Angharad verch Griffith
13855. Emma d' Aldithley
27711. Bertrade Mainwaring
55423. Amicia de Meschines
110847. Hugh Kevelioc (1147-1181), 3rd Earl of Chester
221695. Maud de Caen (-1189)
443390. Robert de Caen (-1147)
886780. King Henry I of England (1068-1145)

Please confirm or debunk.

The weak point is William son of Humphrey Poyntz. The Poyntz Genealogy
only gives son Nicholas. You would need to find a will, or other primary
document, to document William.

Hello James ~

Thank you for your good post.

Agnes (Harris) (Spencer) Edwards' best royal line currently is a
descent through her Fortescue ancestry from Countess Judith, wife of
Waltheof, Earl of Northumberland. Judith was the niece of William the
Conqueror. Agnes Harris also possesses a valid Magna Carta Surety
descent through her Poyntz ancestry.

The descent you've outlined below through the Clanvowe family from
King Henry I needs more evidence. The weak link in the descent is
the Clanvowe-Talbot connection. The lineage depends on the
interpreation of a document in the papal registers in which the
brother of Elizabeth de Clanvowe claimed to be the nephew ("nepos" in
Latin) of a Talbot. The word "nepos" in that period usually meant
nephew or grandson, but, I've found a few instances where it also
referred to a close male kinsman (i.e., first cousin). Since multiple
meanings of "nepos" are possible, more documentation is needed before
this part of the line can be accepted.

Dear James, Kay, et al.

William Poyntz is mentioned in his father, Humphrey Poyntz'
Inquisition Post Mortem. Following William Poyntz' death, his two
daughters, including Wilmot, sued their uncle, Nicholas Poyntz, in
Chancery for possession Poyntz family property. An abstract of the
Chancery suit is included in the published Poyntz Genealogy.

Wilmot Poyntz subsequently married Thomas Hext, Esquire, of Pickwell
(in Georgeham), Devon. The inquisition taken at her death shows that
she was in possession of property which she inherited as co-heiress to
her grandfather, Humphrey Poyntz.

So, there is nothing weak about either William or Wilmot Poyntz' place
in the Poyntz family pedigree. The only thing which is unknown is the
name of William Poyntz' wife.

Since Kay has access to the Poyntz Genealogy, perhaps she would be
kind enough to post the transcript of the Chancery suit involving
Wilmot (Poyntz) Hext and her uncle, Nicholas Poyntz, found in the
book.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Hi Cris ~

Complete Peerage gives solid evidence that Geoffrey Fitz Peter's
parents were Peter de Ludgershall and his wife, Maud. Peter is known
to have held the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire. He was evidently also
known as Peter the Forester. As such, I assume that he was forester
of the royal forest of Ludgershall adjacent to Ludgershall Castle in
Wiltshire. Maud's parentage is not known. It appears, however, that
she had an interest in property at Costow, Wiltshire which may well
have been her maritagium. Maud was probably closely related (possibly
sister?) to Roger Fitz Geoffrey, of Somerford, Wiltshire, lineal
ancestor of the Lords Mautravers. If Roger was her brother, it would
explain the appearance of the name Geoffrey among her children.

Back in February this line was discussed and Ivor West posted the following
correction to Ancestral Roots. It suggests that number 20. married Alice
Nonant and that the wife of 21. is not known other than her name was Joan.
No further discussion ensued after Ivor's post. Since then has anyone looked
at this to either support the Weis line posted by the indefatigable Ed Mann
or the line posted by Ivor?

Hi Louise:

I developed a line of descent for the Beauchamp family of Ryme, Dorset
several years ago for Ancestral Roots. I believe the line is still
sound. I used both primary and secondary sources when preparing the
line. I cited all my sources. Perhaps Ed Mann or someone can post the
descent as it appears in Ancestral Roots for you. Mr. West's
rendition of this line below contains a few errors.

I think that you may find a used copy for sale somewhere, but not cheap.

Perhaps someone else has a more specific idea.

If you live in the UK http://www.bookbrain.co.uk/ is the best service to
use to evaluate the cheapest new set you can get. Overseas people need to
add on the cost of postage.
For a second hand set www.bookfinder.com is a good source.There's a set
going for $358 at the moment.

I just purchased the slipcovered 2000 reprint from
Amazon.com for nearly $ 400 US. It did not, of course,
include the elusive Volume 14 - I am still searching for
that and Amazon does not have it. Good hunting and hope you
get a better price than I did, Bronwen Edwards

Easy to order a copy of the four-in-one version.

Excellent Value.

Yes, check the archives.

Volume XIV of CP is available, not "elusive" at all.

Bloody academics can't find their own derrières with a torch and a
cattle probe ---- or both hands at high noon on the Champ de Mars.

Check the Usual Suspects.

A set of CP without Volume XIV is like a woman with an expensive dress
and nowhere to go ---- or Talisker drunk straight from the bottle, sans
a glass to put it in.

HOLD EVERYTHING! Check me if I'm mistaken, but there was a "14 volumes
in 13" reprint and the 2000 reprint (isn't that the 4 pages on each
leaf edition?) should have included that version which included the
14 volumes in 13. Did it not?

Also, we're talking about the 2d edition (1982) here, are we not? Is
that the latest edition?

No. That's Volumes I through XI, XII part 1, XII part 2, and XIII ----
microprint, four pages to one.

Volume XIV is not in the set. It must be purchased separately and is
not four pages to one.

welllll, except that this set is a really old one: 1887-98 in 8 vols and not
in very good shape at all. and at only a bit more, the 4 in one page 13 in 6
vol is a much better and up to date buy. http://www.addall.com looks thru
a whole raft of booksellers and the best buy there if you search for "cokayne
complete peerage" and take the first of two possibilities you get some very
good bargains (i retract what i said last night - must have checked the
second one). skip the one that do not have it available and you get $326-328
from pickabook - very good value).

if you leave off the cokayne you also pick up hammond's 14th volume (exactly
the size and binding match for the 13 in 6 set which pickabook has at the lowest
price of $114-116 (normally list of 181)

It is indeed fourteen volumes but only goes up to Volume 13 as there are
two volumes 12: 12/1 and 12/2. (Or whatever it should be in Roman
numerals.)

And it is 14 volumes in 6.

Yes.

) should have included that version which included the

Here is where the confusion starts. Volume XIV (14) was only published
for the first time ever in 1998. It is, of course the fifteenth volume
of the series.



> Also, we're talking about the 2d edition (1982) here, are we not?

The second edition was started in 1910 and completed (it seems) in 1998.

In 1982 the then 14 volumes (1 to 13) were reprinted by photographic
copying and reduced so that four pages of the original were on one page.
This 1982 reprint was NOT a second edition.

The 2000 reprint was precisely of the 1982 Microprint version.

> Is that the latest edition?

The latest, second, edition remains the one that was started in 1910 and
finished (probably) in 1998. There is some talk of a third edition but
that would probably take 50 years to achieve and would require enormous
funding from somewhere; I can't see it happening myself.

You can probably get volume XIV from Heraldry Today:

http://www.heraldrytoday.co.uk/

But it's not cheap.

The 2nd edition of Complete Peerage was "13 volumes in 14" - volume 13 was
split into two parts. So the reduced edition is really "14 volumes in 13 in
6". It doesn't include volume 14.

My interest in the Beauchamps derives from the work that Col. Hansen and I are
doing on the ancestry of King Charles II. I am not aware of a personal descent
from this branch of the family, at least not yet.

Hi Louise:

I published a detailed article on the parentage and English origin of
Agnes (Harris) (Spencer) Edwards of Hartford, Conn. in The American
Genealogist about 15 years ago. The same year, I also published
several Carolingian descents for Agnes Harris through her Beauchamp
and Fortescue ancestry in the book, Ancestral Roots, by Weis-Sheppard.
Both publications are still quite sound.

Years ago, when I first started working to find Agnes Harris' identity
and parentage, the previous researcher who worked on this line thought
she was a bastard daughter of a man named Tucker. Although it took me
seven years, I eventually found conclusive evidence which proved that
Agnes was the legitimate daughter and sister of two Mayors of
Barnstaple, Devon named Harris. My research was directly aided by
three individuals, George McCracken, FASG, John Insley Coddington,
FASG, and Gary Boyd Roberts, all of whom deserve honorable mention.
To assist my work, Mr. Coddington even sent me a book from his
personal library, which gift I still treasure as a token of his high
standards of collegiality.

Since that time, I've assembled a detailed monograph on Agnes Harris'
ancestry which I occasionally sell to interested parties. If you're
interested in a copy, Louise, please contact me for details. The
monograph provides family group sheets for several generations and
copies of much of the documentation behind the royal and Magna Carta
lines in Agnes Harris' ancestry. Also, for your interest, Agnes
Harris' descent from the Magna Carta baron, William Malet, will be
featured in the forthcoming book, Magna Carta Ancestry, which I expect
will appear sometime next year.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

No.

Volume XIII was not "split into two parts".

Volume XII has two parts.

Wow. This is the First Edition, the one that Cokayne did himself! It
is of historical importance even if the content is not as good as the
Second Edition. I have only ever seen one other copy of the 1st edition
myself.

I checked Heraldry Today's website and could not find
the book there.

Unless I am mistaken, Volume XIV, the fifteenth book in
the CP series, is edited by Peter Hammond and is offered
by amazon.com under the title "Addenda and Corregenda."
their price is $171 but there is a "used" copy available
for $140, said by its offeror to be "Like New - Brand New,
Directly from Publisher." The only review of this book
posted by amazon says:

" For those who are interested in the history of Britain,
the Complete Peerage is a necessary reference. Unfortunately,
CP does not come up to the present day. Addenda & Corrigenda
brings the peer-by-peer history up to the present day, filling
in the gaps and allowing a continuity of study of particular
families and titles. A bit pricy, it is however a necessary
completion for anyone who uses the Complete Peerage."
This description, together with the title under which the
book is offered,is what leads me to believe that this is the
"elusive" Volume XIV.

<Censored> says of it:

"A set of CP without Volume XIV is like a woman with an
expensive dress and nowhere to go ---- or Talisker drunk
straight from the bottle, sans a glass to put it in."

But if the book offered by amazon is Volume XIV I have
to disagree. Except for the occasional "corregendum" it
sounds like it deals primarily if not exclusively with
20th century extensions of the families covered by the
first fourteen books (13 volumes), and would therefore
be of little if any use to medieval genealogical studies.

As for the Talisker, if you're going to drink it neat, and there
is no other way to do justice to a 90+ proof single malt scotch,
why bother with the glass?

Wrong. Do not make asinine, jejune assumptions.

Volume XIV covers all previous volumes, as WELL as updates through
1995 ---- and is quite essential.

CP without Volume XIV is like Laurel without Hardy or Bogart without
Bacall or New York City without Giuliani.

Volume XIV also has a priceless Introduction, which details how CP came
to be and its subsequent History. It also has a priceless portrait of
GEC.

A few years ago, I took a close look at a copy of the First Edition, and
compared it to the Second Edition. The text is pretty much the same for
most (certainly not all) of the articles, but the major enhancement of the
Second Edition is that it has many, many more footnotes.

Heraldry Today are very good at getting books that are not on the
