In my quest to extract all the interesting data from the Linc Ped.
(VII)
http://knol.google.com/k/will-johnson/lincolnshire-pedigrees-volume-ii/4hmquk6fx4gu/241#view
I happened to arrive at the entry for the family Johnson of Friston.
Noticing that the heiress married the Earl of Strafford I checked
Leo's great database on him here
http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00053980&tree=LEO
but found him disconnected from his ancestors.
I'll give a bit of that
This Earl of Strafford was descended from the brother of a previous
earl of Strafford who had been beheaded.
Thomas Wentworth (1672-1739) was the son of Isabella Apsley, the
daughter of that Sir Allen Aplsey who was treasurer of the household
to James, Duke of York.
Thomas' father was that William Wentworth who had been Sheriff in
1672. Thomas' grandfather was that William Wentworth Slain at the
Battle of Marston Moor, this William had married a Saville co-heiress
but I don't know her name.
The William who was slain at Marston Moor, was the son of Anne
Atkinson and William Wentworth of wentworth-Woodhouse, 1st Bnt. Leo
already has these people. This connection explains a few things.
