Narrative

[Royal Ancestors.ged]

Analysis of Parentage of Jane Hussey.
Jane Hussey is widely accepted and documented as having lived between 1534 and 1584, with William Eaton as her husband. From that point things get murky. Who was her father? Some say Thomas Shepherd. Why Thomas Shepherd? No one has documented how they arrived at this name and why she would have a different name than her father. Other people have listed Rev Christopher Hussey as her father. The problem with this is that he was born after she died, according to her will she died in 1584, and he was born in 1598. Others list other Hussey?s. I am using Thomas Hussey and Bridget Bowes as her parents. The time frame is right and Thomas mother's name was Jane. People frequently named their children after their parents. Jane is a recurring Hussey name. Again it is too early to predict exactly who her parents were without documentation. Someone needs to do the leg work of checking official records in the Hussey areas of England to settle this. For now Thomas and Bridget are the best bet. Thomas Shepherd can not be ruled out. However, the probability that he was her father is much lower that some one with the name of Hussey. Of course there is the chance that she married a Hussey and was windowed. If so who and why do we have her fathers name and not her dead husbands name. It does not make sense. Thomas Hussey and Bridget Bowes makes more sense.
-----------
The following sources list Jane Hussey as the wife of William Eaton and mother of Peter Eaton. The confusion with Thomas Shepherd arises out the mismatch of Elizabeth Shepherd as William Eaton's wife. The probability of Jane, William and Peter being as I have them here is higher then the alleged Shepherd linkage which has no source origin other than the internet.

        Mardi Carter, in her posting to soc.genealogy.medieval, indicates that Godfrey was b. 1317. I have two different men (father & son) named Godfrey, with the father b. in 1317. She also had Margaret de Villiers b. 1351/2, which is impossible if their daughter Margaret had a child b. in 1379.
