The Ancestry of Dorothea Poyntz
for Six Generations
by Ronny O. Bodine
It is most unusual that a complete four generation ancestry can be compiled for someone born in 1631. But such is the case for Dorothea Poyntz, whose known ancestry includes both parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents and all sixteen great-great-grandparents. A total of 30 ancestors. This ancestry was first presented in the December 1990 issue of the Owsley Family Historical Society Newsletter. Further details have been added in the ensuing years. A bibliography to cited sources may be found at the end.

120. ALEXANDER COPE, of Bramshill, Hampshire and Denshanger, Northamptonshire. (HNO, 1: 748; HP/1439, 1: 219; MGH, 3(4): 208 cites the tomb of Sir William Cope, no. 60, as providing the correct name of his father and thus BLG16: 2631 and BP105: 639 are incorrect in citing Stephen Cope, of Denshanger and Grimsbury, Northamptonshire as the father.)
121. N.N.
122. JOHN SPENCER, of Hodnell, Warwickshire. Died 4 Jan 1497 leaving a will of 15 Sept 1496 , proved 25 Jan 1496/7 . Married 1stly: (CIPMH, 2: no. 245; HP/1509, 1: 693; MGH, (3)4: 208; PCC Wills, 4: Horne; SPFH: 286, 325; VNO: 175).
123. ANNE EMPSON. She is named in HNO, 1: 748 and VNO: 175 as an heiress of her father. J. Horace Round in SPFH: 286, 325 notes John was married 2ndly to a daughter of William Graunt, of Snitterfield. The Visitation of Northamptonshire in 1564 does call John's wife Anne, sister of Sir Richard Empson, but incorrectly daughter of Richard. At his death in 1497, his daughter Jane (Joan) was already married to William Cope, whereas his two younger children (by his 2nd wife) were minors, his son being only 6 years old. The Cope arms were also quartered with those of Empson which seems inappropriate in that Anne was not an heiress.

Stanton St.
John, Oxfordshire; Petsoe, Buckinghamshire; and Tilsworth, Bedfordshire. Died 28 Aug 1496 . His will of 18 Aug 1496 , was proved 19 Oct 1496 and therein directed his burial in Sherbourne Church
