my link into this family is via the Banks who are on my maternal line. They seemed to be a well known family marrying into other well known names starting with my Lucy born to John and Elizabeth (Pelling), he being born to James and Jane (Lockyer), then back to John who married a Mary, he was born to another John who married Parnell (Page) and he is the son of yet another John who married Agnes (Larkin). it gets a bit confusing here and i think he is son of John the elder who married Silvester (Fermor). If so, then his parents are Nicholas and Johane of Brook House Rotherfield and an iron master born about 1500.
