General Notes
- # Note:
  
  This William, as he fits into the Kniveton pedigree seems to have been born a bit early to be the father of Lettice, who Burke's Peerage says married John Cokayne of Ashbourne (BP didn't state her first name, Lettice, just that she was a daughter of Sir William Kniveton of Bradley). It might be that William had a son William who held Bradley and was the father of Lettice (not likely because Bradley was next held by son Henry), or, as I stated in my notes on John Cokayne, BP has him born much later than he should be, which would make Lettice born much earlier as well. But, keeping BP's dates, I am forced to create a second wife for William's late-born daughter Lettice.
