16.Jane Seymour married Sir John Rodney, son of George Rodney and Elizabeth Kirton.
Remark : A descent from King John is given for various Rodney immigrants. The earliest Rodney link shown in this line is Sir John Rodney, son of George Rodney and Elizabeth Kirton. But elsewhere in RPA sub Hungerford p.407, is mentioned Margaret, daughter of Walter 1st Lord Hungerford, who married Sir Walter Rodney. Both RD500 and RD600 provide a connection between Sir Walter Rodney and George Rodney which would provide another descent from King John to the Rodneys in RPA (as well as a descent from Henry I � outside the scope of RPA).
Contribution of John Higgins
To which Douglas Richardson replied : With regard to the proposed Rodney descent from King John, Gary Boyd Roberts and I both gladly accept any and all contributions of new royal lines which anyone may find in the course of their research. When contacting Gary or me, please provide such documentation which will allow us to see if the line is chronologically sound and supported by standard sources such as wills, inquisitions, visitation records, etc. I�m interested in all such royal descents. Gary Boyd Roberts limits his work to the best royal descent for a given individual.
To which John Higgins replied : As to the Rodney line, GBR in RD600 (and previously RD500) has laid out the connection very clearly. He appears to use the same source that you cite for the Rodneys, so it should meet your standards. By GBR�s definition, it gives a �better� descent � from John instead of Henry I. (and you�ve got both ends of the connection, within the Rodney�s, in your book already!!)
