ch Robert Bartlett

[There are two other couples that are possibly parents of this child, Robert Bartlett:

Robert Bartlett b 1555 in Cherton, Wiltshire, England m Agnes Benger b abt 1560 in Alton Wiltshire, England.� She seems a bit young to be our Robert's mother. The least likely.
And . . .

Robert Bartlett b 1547-1551 in Puddletown, Dorset, England m Marjorie Hart b abt 1547 in Puddletown, Dorset, England. Or is this the same Robert Bartlett as above with a second wife?

Also a William Bartlett b abt 1521 could be the father of Robert b 1547-1551 or Robert b 1541.]

Quilla: Any help or clarification on this family would be greatly appreciated.

�

Note: Some Jay researchers do not believe that our Jay's descend from this John Jay.� Some, including those who have since called themselves "Joy," believe this to be the Joy family, which it is depending on your interpretation of the spelling.� Some have read the name as Ivey.� Jay, Joy or Ivey. . .it is my belief that this is the same man.� I have had several families where the children in the same family spell their surname differently.� It is quiet possible that it was Ivey in England.� Finding the truth has been difficult and needs further research. What I am expressing here is what I believe to be true. Quila
