Gary's oldest recorded ancestors and four separate family trees.
Gary's Family Heritage
These are the three earliest-born people currently connected to Gary in the family-tree research. The summaries separate what is historically supported from what still needs documentary proof.
An early member of the Atwood family of Sanderstead, Surrey, England. John Atwood—also written Atwodde—and his wife Denys are commemorated by a memorial brass dated 1525 in the Sanderstead parish church.
Historical person supported · family link under reviewReportedly born in Shropshire during the Wars of the Roses and later connected to the Mason family. No evidence has been found that she was killed for her Catholic faith. Her title “Lady,” husband, exact death date and parentage remain unverified.
Reported parents:
Richard Wainwright Higgins (1432–1482)
Sarah Wylde (1436–1515)
Reportedly associated with Essex and Hertfordshire and identified as the husband of Philippa Bradbury. He connects through the Barley and Harding line, but the imported family record appears to combine several records and requires further verification.
Dates, children and direct connection provisionalResearch note: All three appear in the Ancestry family-tree file. The original MyHeritage file does not independently confirm these three lines. Original birth, marriage, will or probate records are still needed for several parent-to-child links.
