Sir Henry Skipwith 
Henry was born on March 21st, 1589 in Prestwould, Leicestershire, England and his baptism took place on March 29th, 1589 in St. Andrew's Church, Prestwold, Leicestershire, England.1 2 Birth Notes
Sir Henry Skipwith of Cotes and Prestwold was born on 21 and baptised at St. Andrew's Church, Prestwold on 29 March 1589. He was created a Baronet on 20 December 1622.
Sir Henry married twice:
1. Anne (documents say 'Anne' rather than Amy) 3rd daughter of Sir Thomas Kempe of Olantigh, Kent. They married at Olantigh on 7 July 1609. They had seven children:
Sir William, born 1613; Sir Henry, born 1615; Elizabeth, born 1617; Thomas, born 1619; Diana, born 1621; Sir Grey, born 1622; Anne, born 1623. The births and baptisms of all the children are recorded in the Parish Register.
Later descendants or more recent amateur genealogists 'decorated' Diana with the title "Lady" but, apart from the surviving male heir, the children of Baronets did not have a title. The assumption of pretentious titles and even bogus Pedigrees was not uncommon in early Colonial America.
