Hello,
As I was updating my research notes on the Dyott family, I noticed that HOP has two articles about the same Anthony Dyott, MP, but with different attributed parentage. It seems to me that John Dyott who married Catherine Weston is being conflated with
his son, John Weston who possibly married Margaret Hill instead. Could you please help confirm this assumption?
According to this HOP article from 1981, Anthony Dyott was the "1st s. of John Dyott of Freeford, bailiff of Lichfield, by ?his 1st w. Margaret, da. of Robert Hill of Lichfield"

This is supported by the Visitation pedigree:

And this pedigree in A Survey of Staffordshire Containing the Antiquities of that County
https://www.google.ca/books/edition/A_Survey_of_Staffordshire/DEgJAAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&d&pg=PA232&printsec=frontcover
As well as by Burke's Commoners:

However, according to a more recent HOP article from 2010, Anthony Dyott was the " 1st s. of John Dyott of Stychbrook and Lichfield, Staffs. and Catherine, da. of John Weston of Lichfield."

This is supported by Weston-Cave Heraldic Pedigrees by William Segar, Knt., Garter King of Arms, 25 Nov 1633, Add. 18667, folio 25 verso as reproduced in Weston Pedigree Reconsidered: A Review of Documentation Provided by the College of Arms. In the same
book, a letter from Dr. John Weston identifies three sons of "Katherine Weston married to Mr. Diott of Lichfield": Anthony Diott...of Inner Temple, deceased; John Diott of Lichfield, deceased; Arthur Diott of Lichfield, deceased.
This pedigree in A Survey of Staffordshire Containing the Antiquities of that County, supports this and contradicts the pedigree above from the same book.
https://www.google.ca/books/edition/A_Survey_of_Staffordshire/DEgJAAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA136-IA4&printsec=frontcover
This source describes the younger John Dyott as son of John Dyott and Catherine Weston and uncle to Sir Richard Dyott (i.e. making him Anthony Dyott's brother)
https://www.google.ca/books/edition/The_History_and_Antiquities_of_the_Churc/N3tbAAAAQAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA420&printsec=frontcover
The pedigree from Dyott's Diary 1781-1845 supports it as well:
https://www.google.ca/books/edition/Dyott_s_Diary_1781_1845/U-9MAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PT1&printsec=frontcover
I also found reference to another Dyott Pedigree in Stebbing's Shaw's The History and Antiquities of Staffordshire, but wasn't able to find it online. However, this snippet says " Shaw's Dyott pedigree calls Margaret wife of John Dyott , younger brother
to Anthony , daughter of Robert Hill"
