the
Vaulx line. It seems clear it is the Harrowden branch. Correct
me if
I am wrong, please. My ancestors [descendants of Samuel Timson,
died
Jan. 23; 1694/5, buried in the floor of Burton Church in
Williamsburg, Va..] were in possession of both Vaux Hall
plantation
(on or near Jamestown Island) and Vaulx Hall plantation
(on or near Queens Creek in York county, and are related to
both Throckmortons (Vaulx) and Vaux.) The information on the
Throckmorton branch is found on line at the Swem library from
William and Mary College, under "JSTOR demo" or their
publications;
"The William and Mary College Quarterly".
"The Vaux of Harrowden, a Recusant Family" is
found at the Library of Congress Genealogy Room.

Miscelanea Genealogica et Heraldica, 5th Ser., 4:102 et seq. "The Early
Pedigree of Vaux of Harrowden". G. Andrews Moriarty.

Maud was sister of Wm. Lucy, I believe, of Charlecote, Warwicks. I am
not aware of a connection to Richard's Castle. In any case, she, in her
son, was heir to her brother William, not of her father.

If you haven't consulted the Complete Peerage for Vaux of Harrowden and
for Vaulx, I would recommend that you do so. The Complete Peerage is
available on microfilm through the Family History Center system.

William's sisters were Eleanor, who married Thomas Giffard of Twyford,
Bucks.; and possibly Isabel, who married Sir William Tresham. I see no
mention of a Margaret.

Noting postings under this header, I wonder whether there might be fuller
data lurking here concerning the wives and earlier line of

Sir Oliver (de) Vaux of Freston
John (de) Vaux of Freston &/or Walton
Maud (de) Vaux who m. William Ld Ros/Roos of Hamlake
(who d. 1316/17)

(DNB ['William de Ros'] says John (de) Vaux not of Freston
but of Walton, but agrees Maud & gives Maud & William's ch.)

Thanks (Kay?)!

Thanks very much, Kay! I gather from this that there's a lot unresolved
and more needs to be done. I'll have a look at M's notes when next in the
States and able to get back to the NEHGS. Meantime I'll check out his
MiscGen&Her piece (Ser.5, 4:102ff) at the Bod., tho I'm unclear what
relation there is, if any, between the Harrowden fam. and these of
Suff/Norf. (And of course the CP article - as a 'late starter' - doesn't
develop it). I assume M. proposes none. I'll have a look at the relev.
VCH's too for starters. Can you tell, by the way, the relative dates of
M's work on these two lines (i.e. do the notes postdate the published
article, as though arising out of the Harrowden work)?

Should we take it that you're so-far unsettled yourself on the
Harrowden/Suff-Norf question (or perhaps it's been only of tangential
interest for you)...?

Christina Hilton's reference, viz.


>"The Vaux of Harrowden, a Recusant Family" is found at the Library
of Congress
Genealogy Room<

sounds intriguing, though judging by the allusion to recusancy, the period
discussed is at least C16-18, not earlier. Is that right, Christina? Any
author for this?

I assume that


>3. Sibyl Longchamps. Perhaps a step-dtr. of Pernel's ?<

appears without identification of a Longchamps marriage for Sibyl.

Anyway, many thanks again, Kay.

I do not see any connection either. I descend from both Vaux families.

Moriarty's Notebooks end at about 1965, so they would post-date his
Harrowden article.

As mentioned earlier, I do not believe ther is a connection.

She is just called Sibyl Longchamps as wife of Pernel's son. Pernel
married a Longchamps; so if said Longchamps had a dtr. by a previous
wife, shg might have married her step-brother. However, I believe a
dispensation might have been required because of their step-sibness.

Canon Law, anyone?
