| Phillips Verner Bradford, in his Pedigree of David Knight Jr page at http://www.concentric.net/~pvb/GEN/dknig.html, says "Sarah Spencer (1645-1668), according to an LDS record has a long ancestry that goes back 18 generations to Thurston de Spencer (b. c1122) and with sketchy data, back three more generations to Amaury Raoul d'Albetot, who was born in 1066, the year of the Norman Conquest. The dating errors and other inconsistencies in this LDS data are suffiently troublesome that it cannot be relied upon for accuracy. However, if Sarah Spencer's line does get back to Thurston de Spencer (b. c1122) then she is descended from an important line of English nobility that also produced the late Princess Diana Spencer..." Those LDS records certainly can be sketchy sometimes. :/ I post this so that those interested can do their own research on the matter. |
