"The Virginia Washingtons and the Manor of Newton Bromswold," by S.
H. Lee Washington, and would like to ask if there is any substance to
it:

"Many years ago a writer sugested that Needham LANGHORNE was probably
some descendant of the Langhornes of Bedfordshire, who recorded a
pedegree in the Hertfordshire Visitation of 1634, but up til the
present nothing whatever has been ascertained about him. . .he was
the fourth son of Robert LANGHORNE of Harrold Park, co. Bedford, and
through his mother, Margaret, sister of Sir John NEEDHAM of
Lichborough, Northants., Gentleman Pensioner to Queen Elizabeth, he
could trace direct descent from the Wests, Lords De la Warr, King
Henry III, and John de Baliol. . ."

Does anyone have any information to substantiate--or debunk--this
claim that the Needhams have a royal descent? Thanks, Polly Zashin.²

; Many thanks, Mr. Brandon, for the Google books references. I had
some of them, but others were new. I will have to sharpen up my
Goggle search techniques! In any event, although the information was
useful, the question still remains of how Margaret NEEDHAM might have
been descended from "the Wests, Lords De la Warr, King Henry III, and
John de Baliol. . ." Unfortunately, Washington in his article does
not give a source for his assertion. Following is a very incomplete
ahnentafel for Mary LANGHORNE, wife of Robert TOWNSHEND. If anyone
can see from their knowledge of the families mentioned how a
connection to any of the families in the above quotation might be
made, I would appreciate the hint, as well as ideas about possible
sources. Thanks, Polly Zashin
