Talk:Francis Marbury

Ancestry
The ancestry of Marbury's mother, Agnes Lenton, appears on a number of websites, but is incorrect. Champlin tells us that the father of Agnes was John Lenton, but that is all we know. One or more sources claim that Agnes was the daughter of John Lenton and wife Elizabeth Shepherd, but a look at a 1964 article from the New England Historic Genealogical Register reveals that Elizabeth Shepherd married John Lenton in 1585. Therefore, this couple cannot be the grandparents of Francis Marbury who was born in 1555, and therefore we still only know what Champlin published in 1914: that John Lenton was the grandfather of Francis Marbury, but who he married and who his ancestors were remains unknown.Sarnold17 (talk) 01:20, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
