  • Notes 
    • He was Colonel Robert Overton whom later gained the title of Major General. He played a prominent role in the English Civil War. (E) What is wonderful about this is that he is a proven ancestor of mine through an autosomnal DNA cousin match whom also descends from him through his son William.
