Throckmorton-Benedict lineage

[atel...@ecn.ab.ca]

I hope this isn't too far off topic - I found this line on the Ancestral
File. I included no dates for steps 8 and 9 because the AF has wildly
varying dates for these people. Obviously an extra generation was
slipped in.

Can anyone tell me if it's a plausible line with wrong dates or is it
another AF fabrication? Thanks.

1. John Throckmorton (ABT 1382-1445) m. Eleanor de la Spine (ABT
1385-1466)
2. Eleanor Throckmorton (ABT 1427-BEF 1502) m. Richard Knightly (ABT
1427-BEF 1476)
3. Emma Knightley (ABT 1464-1490) m. Thomas Andrews (ABT 1468-BEF 1530)
4. Thomas Andrew (ABT 1485-1541) m. Agnes Newport (b. ABT 1500)
5. Sir Thomas Andrews (1530-1593) m. Mary Henneage (b. 1540)
6. William Andrew (1570-1659) m. Brigetta Risley (1574-1637)
7. Anne (Agnes) Andrew (ABT 1593-1630) m. William Pynchon (1590-1662)
8. Anne Pynchon m. Henry Smith
9. Giles Smith m. Mary Wheeler
10. Anna Smith (1625-1662) m. Francis Andrews (1623-1662)
11. Rebecca Andrews (1651-AFT 1719) m. Samuel Benedict (ABT 1645-1719)

Actually I show this Eleanor as M Thomas Greene, son of Sir Thomas Greene,
Kt., M.P., of Greene's Norton, Northants. (Mentioned in his father in law's
will, 12 April 1445). The evidence for this is Sir John Throckmorton's
will where he mentions Eleanor & her husband Greene.

Best wishes

Neil D. Thompson, in his recent article, "The Sir Thomas Gre[e]nes of Greene's
Norton," _The Genealogist 13(Spring 1999):24-9, shows Sir Thomas Grene's wife
as Maud, or Matilda Throckmorton. Neil mentions the will of Sir John
Throckmorton, knight, dated 12 April, proved 19 April 1445 (PCC 31 Luffenham,
also transcribed in Nicolas's _Testamenta Vestula_ 1:248). Neil states that
after Sir Thomas Grene's death, 9 September 1462, she married (2) Richard
Middleton, Esq. CPR 1461-7, 440, also calls her Matilda, late wife of Thomas
Grene, kt. The monumental inscription also calls her Matild'.

G. Andrews Moriarty in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, ser. 5,
vol. 6 : 227, does show Eleanor, dtr. of Sir John Throckmorton and
Eleanor Spinney, marrying Richard Knightly.

This marriage is also mentioned in Roskell's House of Commons III:529.
Barron in Northamptonshire Families, a vol. of VCH, shows Emme marriying
a Thomas Andrew.

As to what comes after, to that I cannot attest.
