Notes
The text explicitly notes manuscript disagreement: MS 18,011 assigns certain sons of Sir Richard Copley to the second marriage, whereas MSS 1415, 1571, and 6070 assign them to the first; the printed text was altered to conform to another pedigree. A match and issue are absent from the Heralds’ College copy of the 1612 visitation. Numerous additional named people are present in the damaged layout, including Avery, Grace Bradford, James, Thomas, Francis, Margaret, Beatrix, Joan Gunby, John Anger, Gervase, William, Mary, Katherine, Sara, Thomas, Henry, Anne Brock, Jane Nowell, Elizabeth Poygne, Agnes Dighton, Robert, Isabel, Godfrey, James Finkney, Elizabeth Sacheverell, William, Mary, Ann, and Lyonell.
