Fw: Royal Ancestry of James Cudworth, Gent. (died 1682), of Scituate and Barnstable, Massachusetts
Leo
Not understanding the rules you apply, I wonder, why do you show the long
way? For the sake of space saving, why don't you show the line from Edward
I? There is a fully legitimate line from him to James Cudworth, why show a
line that starts with an illegitimate son?
In your line you imply three lines from James Cudworth to Henry II, are you
aware there are at least 10?
With best wishes
