[end quote]⁷

; per Brandon email [quote] Re the name of George Vincent's first wife: I haven't seen Bindoff - my nearest copy is in Lincoln, about 45 miles away. All of Nichols' volumes are only just down the road! Whether, as John Brandon suggests, Bindoff is accurate in calling her 'Jane' (rather than 'Anne') Storey, I don't know. I do know, however, that in a footnote to the heading of his "Pedigree of Moton and Vincent of Peckleton", Nichols (Vol.IV., PtII., p.870) quotes Harl. MSS. 810. p.8, as follows: "The clear descent of George Vincent Esq was approved as well by auncyent tombes, and other monuments of glasse, as by auncient records of evydence of the said George Vyncent, within the church of Pecklington, in the County of Leicester, and for the more assurance thereof the said George Vincent hath subscribed thereto his name, the 10th of July, in the 6th year of the raigne of our soveraigne lady queene Elizabeth."
That year was 1564, the year before George died. I think, maybe, that George Vincent would have known that his first wife was called Anne, and not Jane/Joan and that her second name was Slorey and not Storey. The spelling of the latter, however, could be a mistake in the original document - the copyist having mistaken 'Slorey' for 'Storey', or vice-versa, and this not having being picked up by George Vincent when he signed the document. Nichols also records - presumably from the same source - that the second name of George Vincent's third wife was 'Cotes' and not, as Bindoff apparently has it, "Colles". [end quote]¹ GAV-13. Anne Slorey was also known as Jane Slorey Brandon calls her Jane Storey.^3,7

     Jane Vincent was born circa 1511.^1,3 She married William Faunt Esq., of Foston, co. Leicester, son of William Faunt of Wistow, co. Huntingdon and Isabel Sayer,
; his 2nd wife; her 2nd husband.^1,4,2,6,3 Jane Vincent married Nicholas Purefoy Esq., of Drayton after 4 September 1559
; her 2nd husband.^1,4,2,6,3
Jane Vincent died in 1585.^1,4,2
     GAV-12.

; per Martin Wood: [quote] William Faunt ... [m]arried (2) Jane, widow of Nicholas Purefoy Esq., but by birth the daughter of George Vincent of Peckleton. Jane died 1585, age 74. [The Pedigrees of Purefoy and Vincent both confirm this] [end quote]
Martin cites: "Pedigree of the Family of Percy, possessors of the manor of Foston in early Time", Nichols, saying [quote] Nichols spent most of his adult life researching the families of note in Leicestershire and published his massive 8 vol. work between 1793 and 1811. [end quote]⁴

; per Wood email: [quote] 1. Anthony Faunt (who married Elizabeth Noel) was the son of William Faunt (Purchased Foston and died there 4 Sept 1559, age 63) and his second wife Jane, the widow of Nicholas Purefoy, Esq. of Drayton, but by birth the daughter of George Vincent of Peckleton.
2. The Pedigree of Vincent of Peckleton calls Jane 'Joan' (if you see what I mean). It shows Joan as the daughter of George Vincent of Peckleton (died 1565, age 80) and his first wife, Anne, the daughter of William Slorey of Sleford (probably Sleaford, Lincolnshire). George Vincent was the son of Richard Vincent of Messingham, Lincolnshire, and his wife Anne, daughter and heir of William Grimsby.

William Faunt Esq., of Foston, co. Leicester was buried on 4 September 1559 at Foston, Leicestershire, England.^1,3,2
      ; per Martin Wood: [quote] William Faunt "purchased Foston; died there 4 Sept 1559, age 63. Married (1) Anne Fielding. No issue. Married (2) Jane, widow of Nicholas Purefoy Esq., but by birth the daughter of George Vincent of Peckleton. Jane died 1585, age 74. [The Pedigrees of Purefoy and Vincent both confirm this] ... Nichols says, in a footnote: "The whole manor of Foston about the latter end of King Henry VIII came (by purchase) to William Faunt of Wistow, Esq; and apprentice of the law, and Fellow of the Inner Temple in London. A man of great learning, wisdom, judgement, of great esteem and grace in his county, having been chosen twice Knight of the Shire for the Parliament by voice of the Shire; and in those busy, various, and uncertain times of the latter end of King Henry VIII, Kinf Edward Vi and Queen Mary, ever carried himself just and upright, holding that saying of Justin the Emperor to the Senate always authentical "He that walks right, he fears no harm at all; And he that keeps the straight way cannot fall". He was a Justice of the Peace and Quorum, and in one copy of this pedigree is styled "Legis professor and senescallus de Burton Hasard". He increased his original property by the purchase of the Manors of Foston and Newton, with lands at Tur Langton, Twyford, Clawson, Somerby, and Harby; and died at Foston where he was buried 4 September 1559."
