Notes for: Lucy Wycliffe

This family comes from An History of Richmondshire, in the North Riding of the County of York; together with those parts of the Everwicschire of Domesday which form The Wapentakes of Lonsdale, Ewecross, and Amunderness, in the Counties of York, Lancaster, and Westmoreland, by Thomas Dunham WHITAKER. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees (and others), 1823. 2 volumes. It says the first three generations "are not sufficiently proved." Here is the info given there on this family:

Lucy, born 1725, married 4 February 1754, Rev. John Stapleton, rector of Thorneton Watlas, Co. York.

Marshall Plantagenet's The History of Yorkshire: Wapentake of Gilling West, in the genealogy of the Wycliffes at Gayles (p. 157), says this:

Lucy, born 1725, mar. 1754. She married John Stapleton, rector of the church of Thornton Watlas, co. York. They had offspring.
