I've been researching the Davies/Davis genealogy and with others have been confounded by the presumed 3rd marriage of Mary Scudamore (1611-1676) as appears in Dean Rowland Davies' (1649-1721) Journal (Camden Society) p. xiv. This presumed marriage of Mary to John Travers can't be correct as Mary predeceased Rowland and he remarried an Elizabeth Travers (nee Boyle). Yet, and this is probably where the inconsistency was born, it is stated that the second son of Sir Robert Travers (1596-1647) was John Travers whose son by Mary was John Travers (1646-1712). This arrangement was made necessary to accomodate th comment in John Travers' will, 1707, that Dean Rowland was his brother. i.e. his mother had to be Mary Scudamore. The inconsistency can be resolved if it is recognised that John Travers was refering to his step-brother, Dean Rowland which came about when Rowland married Elizabeth. Thus the two John Travers' are one and the same person. This also clears up the problem with aligning generations. John Travers was just 3 years senior to step-brother Dean Rowland. Mary Scudamore did not have a third marriage and John Travers (d. 1712) did not marry Mary Scudamore, at least not the Mary Scudamore who married Rowland Davies. Kindly correct the entry under Family in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Travers_(MP).
