Since I was sending a few photocopies to Gary Boyd Roberts anyway
(mainly additions to Richard Evans' book on the ancestry of Princess
Diana--for instance, Susan Temple Thornhurst can't be a daughter of
Sir Alexander Temple's third wife, Mary Reve [or "Beve," as Evans has
it]), I've put in a note to him about the Oxford DNB's mention of Sir
William Segar's daughter "Ann, later wife of Lewis Latham of Ellonstow
[sic], Bedford****re."
As he's a descendant of Frances (Latham) (Dungan) (Clarke) Vaughan,
maybe he can look into this further, etc.
