    FWIW, Clay's edition of Dugdale's 1664-5 visitations of Yorkshire has
    a pedigree of the particular Palmes family of which Sir Francis of
    Ashwell, Rutland, was a member. Among the children of Sir Francis
    listed there (not necessarily complete) is a daughter Mary (with no
    spouse listed), but no Jane. Not very helpful, but the other sources
    cited in this thread suggest that perhaps the visitation (or Clay's
    editing of it) missed or confused at least one daughter and overlooked
    the spouses of the daughters.


    Here's the answer.
    "William Moulsworth & Jane Palmes" were married 18 December 1613
    at Pilton, Rutland:
    https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGLC-97C7

    William was bapt. at Fotheringhay, Northamptonshire, 25 Jan. 1588/9,
    son of Anthony Molesworth (image available on Ancestry.com).

    No wills have been found for Anthony or his son, in the local court in Northamptonshire, or the Prerogative Court of Canterbury.

    Good find. This was speculated about in our Charles Chambers article in TAG, 2011 or 2012. I think the Clarke-Palmes marriage is shown in the 1634 Worcester Visitation. Another Molesworth descendant is the new Duchess of Edinburgh, nee Sopie Rhys-
    Jones, although I'm not sure if that descent includes the Palmeses.

    John Edward Nassau Molesworth = Harriet Mackinnon

    Lawrence Teesdale Molesworth, of Texas for the 1900 census; returned to England = Anne Maria Caroline Wallace Bournes

    Richard Evans' book on the ancestry of Diana shows Robert, 1st Viscount Molesworth, as a posthumous son of Robert Molesworth (d. 1656), merchant of Dublin, by Judith Bysse, who later remarried Sir William Tichbourne. Robert, d. 1656, is shown as a son
    of William Molesworth of Fotheringhay, by "Mary" Palmes (... who we now know to be actually "Jane" Palmes).
