The descent from Sir John the Justiciar

In these early branches of the family tree some of the evidence is contradictory, missing or occasionally obviously wrong. In these cases some view of the likeliest position has to be taken and these are documented as far as possible in the notes accompanying each individual. Since this is a continuing work, revisions will be made to the information as they come to light.
