Bee tabular pedigree in vol. vi, p. 406, note "b," evb "Roe." (^) She had, shortly before that date, proved, 14 July 1641, the will of one of her daughters, Elisabeth Willougliby, who directs her burial to be at Hambleden, or elsewhere, as her mother " Lady Frances Willoughby " shall direct («) The existence of this Henry is ignored by Vincent, Dugdale and Segar and all the older writers. He is n<it mentioned mmiinatim in his Father's will, where eitiier he, or his brother Francis may be indicated by the term of " my eldest son.** He is, however, mentioned in his father's inq, pott mortem as his heir, which, unless we suppose " Henry '* to be an error for " Francis " (which is not the view taken by Nicolas or Courthope) proves his then existence. (d) Seevol. I p. 290, note <<d'' tub. Bedford." In the list there given he is called Col. WUtiam Willoughby, Lord WUIotighby of Parham, but apparently this Franeit (not his br.
