Lucy (Willoughby) Carew NOT his daughter

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The last sentence "His daughter and heiress was Lucy, who married first Sir Thomas Huscarle (died 1352), of Purley Magna in Berkshire, and secondly Nicholas Carew, of Beddington in Surrey." in NOT correct.

The Lucy Willoughby who married Nicholas Carew was the daughter of a DIFFERENT Richard Willoughby (of Beddington). There are reports of multiple contemporary references to Lucy as the daughter, heir and ONLY CHILD of Richard Willoughby and his wife Elizabeth. Examples include “A Topographical History of Surrey”, by E.W. Brayley, and https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_History_and_Antiquities_of_the_Count/Yms-AQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=huscarl "The History and Antiquities of the County of Surrey" by Re Owen Manning and William Bray Vol II 1804 pg 522. and 'Parishes: Purley', in A History of the County of Berkshire: Volume 3, (London, 1923) pp. 417-422. British History Online https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/berks/vol3/pp417-422.

Furthermore, none of the contemporay references to THIS Richard Willoughby (of Nottingham) mention a daugher Lucy. See, for instance the referenced "Biography of Sir Richard Willoughby (c. 1290-1362) at the University of Nottingham". The U. Nottingham has a very large collection of his family papers.

I am proposing to remove that sentence Jpg1954 (talk) 16:03, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
