Notes:

College of Arms MS. Norfolk 4 and Joseph Foster, Pedigrees of the County Families of Yorkshire (1874), both state that Robert Dyneley and Margaret Stanhope had a daughter named Elizabeth, baptized 1669, and that she married William Pearson. William Pearson was in fact the husband of Margaret Dyneley (another daughter of Robert Dyneley and Margaret Stanhope). Elizabeth's putative baptism had been conflated with that of her niece, Elizabeth, the daughter of Robert Dyneley and Dorcas Mauleverer. There is no record of an Elizabeth having been baptized at Otley in the 1630s and 1640s. There is no primary evidence that Robert Dyneley and Margaret Stanhope had a daughter named Elizabeth, and she has accordingly been omitted from this genealogy.

Margaret married Robert Dyneley on 24 Jan. 1628/29 in Hooton Pagnell, Yorkshire, England. Robert (son of Sir Robert Dyneley and Olive Stapylton) was christened on 20 Aug. 1607 in Otley, Yorkshire, England; died on 11 Nov. 1688; was buried on 14 Nov. 1688 in Otley, Yorkshire, England.

Notes:

The compiler of College of Arms MS. Norfolk 4, page 141, was uncertain as to the county in which Sir John Stanhope's abode of "Melford" was located. The entry reads: "Margaret daughter of Sir John Stanhope of Melford in Com: . . . . . . . . Knight" [sic]. "The Bradford Antiquary, The Journal of the Bradford Historical and Antiquarian Society," New Series, volume I. (Bradford, 1900), page 326, identified the place as "Melford, Kent." It is noted, however, that Joseph Hunter, "Familiae Minorum Gentium," volume 3, pages 988-9, identified the father of Margaret Stanhope (the wife of Robert Dyneley) as "Sir John Stanhope of Stotfold in psh. of Hooton Paynel, & of Melwood Park in the Isle of Axholme." Perhaps "Melford" was therefore an error, and ought to read "Melwood."
