I am also curious to know if there are any other sources, other than
Parshall's book, that can confirm the Corbeil-de Peshall descent.
Thanks in anticipation...

This is a crock.
Now in both the 1886

Canon Bridgeman is acceptable. The Parshall Family is an interesting
piece of creative fictional genealogy. And as such, is not the accepted
source for either the Peshall or Swinnerton branches of the family.

The Wallop Family has been filmed. It is not my first choice for a
citation, nor my second, third, etc.

This is the proper genealogy as I know it. As far as I know a Corbeil
connection is fiction.

Kay,
Does this line come down to the following:
Ancestors of Thomas Pearsall
Generation No. 1
1. Thomas Pearsall, born Abt. 1586 in Staffordshire County, England; died in
Virginia. He was the son of 2. Edmund Pershall and 3. Maria Bathurst. He
married (1) Mary Brent. She was the daughter of William Brent.
Child of Thomas Pearsall and Mary Brent is:
i. Nicholas Pearsall (Parsell), born Abt. 1619 in Queens County, NY; died
March 10, 1688/89 in Queens County, NY; married Mary Van Damn in Queens
County, NY.
Generation No. 2
2. Edmund Pershall, born in London, Middlesex, England; died in London,
Middlesex, England. He married 3. Maria Bathurst.
3. Maria Bathurst, born Abt. 1568 in London, Middlesex, England; died in
England.
Child of Edmund Pershall and Maria Bathurst is:
1 i. Thomas Pearsall, born Abt. 1586 in Staffordshire County, England; died
in Virginia; married Mary Brent.
And if so, can you point me to a source for the intervening generations?
