I understand that the latest edition of Gary Boyd Roberts' RD 900 has a new descent of Mary Underhill Naylor Stites from William the Conqueror.

I wonder if some kind soul with access to this book could post brief details of that descent here.

It would be much appreciated.

Note that the HOP sketch for Walter Blount (d. 1561) shows his wife as "Isabel, da. of Walter Acton, wid. of Thomas Broughton." She may be this person in the 1583 Staffordshire Visitation, which doesn't show her second (Blount) marriage:

If so, with Thomas Broughton she had a son Lewis Broughton (m. ___ Barrett), who had an eldest son "Foulke Broughton, ... of Worcester towne, now livinge."

It should be noted that Noyes-Libby-Davis, _Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire_, claims that the mother of Rev. Robert Jordan, the immigrant to Maine, was a daughter of one Fulke Broughton of Worcester, England.

GDMNH quote concerning Robt1 Jordan ...

JORDAN, REV. ROBERT, Spurwink, prob. that s. of Edward of Worcester, co. Worc., 'pleb.' enrolled at Balliol Col., Oxford, 15 June 1632. The will of Edward of Worc., bookseller, 1 June--2 Aug. 1637, left to s. Robert L35 to be added to his gr. fa.'s
former legacy of L15, both to be pd. within one month of his decease. The fa.'s death may expl. his leaving Oxford instead of taking an A.M., getting a parish and remaining in Eng. The mother's fa. was Foulke Broughton, gent., of Worc. Feeble investig.
to confirm this ancestry has failed, but the fact that on 24 Dec. 1661 the Maine Rev. R. J. was app. adm. on the est. of Richard Leader(2) ag. which Mr. Thos. Broughton (4) had a claim (Doc. His. iv. 12-3, 70-1) may lead to proof that he was the Oxford
student, related to Mr. Thomas Purchase, not thru the latter's w., as Col. Banks suggests, but thru the Broughtons. Purchase was a native of Dorchester, co. Dorset, and appar. F. Broughton's sons liv. there and in London.
