Study of these leads to three major groups of Fellows[1] in
Buckinghamshire in the 16th to 18th century. They may all be connected to an earlier
common ancestor, or not. There is also
evidence of relationships contained in wills that show the same property in more
than one group over time.

The second group is documented in “Small accessions 1-100”. They are centered in Chepping Wycombe and the
earliest confirmed ancestor is Thomas

born about 1590 and married to
