Notes for: Robert Wickliffe

The following comes from A. L. Kennedy in a post on the Wickliffe family at GenForum:

If you check the records far back enough, you find that Mary Lisson was the sister of Daniel Lisson. She was never the wife of any Robert Lisson or Sisson. The confusion may come in the reading of Daniel Lisson's probate records, as he died without issue, and his relatives from Bristol, England had to settle his estate. One of them was named Robert, and had a wife named Mary, but this was after David Wickliffe married Mary Lisson. Based on the information I found in the records, Deborah may well have been Mary's child, but I accept it mostly on the statements made by William Brown, one of David's half-sister's descendants.

Are you aware that there were three Davids and that the Robert who married Dorcas Arrington was the son of the third David?

Kennedy also has Elizabeth as Robert's first wife. I will go with that for now.
