    • Notes: 
    • Early genealogies state that Dorothy's surname was Law. Wassell Randolph, in his Henry Randolph genealogy from 1952, emphatically states that "Those writers who called her Dorothy Law are in error. She was daughter of Richard Land and sister of Sir Richard Lane, a prominent English barrister. Her first husband was Thomas West."
