  • Notes: 

  • Joan Roberts's father Walter had three wives. It is certain that Walter's third wife was not the mother of Joan, neither of Walter's first two wives can be ruled out as the mother of Joan. However, it is very probable that Walter's second wife Isabel Culpepper was the mother of Joan based on the evidence presented in NEHGR (2012) 166:58-65.
