• Notes

  [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 2, Ed. 1, Tree #5006, Date of Import: Apr 26, 1997] Richard Wightman married Scissely (Cecily), daughter and sole heir of Thomas Wodam, whose wife, Alice, was the daughter and sole heir of Jeoffrey Trussel, Lord of Sharnford. The Wightmans thus became entitled to quarter the Arms of Trusell, one of the most ancient of English families.
