Collins
editCollins 1756 has so many mistakes I wonder if it worth trusting what is not contradicted.

Birth and death dates
editWilliamson says he died in his 90th year, which would make his birth year 1651 rather than 1661. This would make his being a Knight of the Oak slightly more plausible as he could be the oldest rather than the youngest of Sir Charles' sons.
I'm not sure the January 12th/22nd discrepancy of death date can be explained by Old/New Style; some pre-1752 sources give 22nd.
More children?
editNA C 11/1774/17 Nicholas v Compton a 1720 courtcase has
- Defendants: Charles Compton, Edward Compton, John Compton and Mary Compton infants (by William Glanville, esq), James [Lane] Viscount Lanesborough in Ireland, Hon Hatton Compton, esq and Penelope Compton his wife and William Compton (their son and heir apparent) and William Nicholas.
This suggests 5 children: William the eldest at least 21 in 1720; then Charles, Edward, John and Mary all under 21 in 1720. No mention of James: possibly James is an alias of William or John, or was not a party to the case; it seems unlikely that he was born after 1720. jnestorius(talk) 15:24, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
