      ; per Wood email: [quote] Looking down the messages you sent me, there seems to be questions about the parentage of Anthony Faunt - who married Elizabeth Noel - as well as about the parentage of Elizabeth Noel. If it helps anyone, I can answer these using Nichols, as follows:
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.
[end quote]⁵

; per Weston site: [quote] In due course Anthony returned to England in order to take control of his inheritance. He married Elizabeth Noel of Dalby and by her had four children. In 1587, Anthony Faunt became sheriff of Leicestershire and a year later, in readiness for the possible invasion of England by the Spanish; he was appointed Lieutenant general of the forces of the shire. His appointment was however opposed by the earl of Huntingdon who set aside Anthony in favour of his own brother Walter Hastings. A year later, on the 11th of May 1588 (the 21st of May by Spanish reckoning),1 ten days after the first ships of the Spanish armada cast off from there Lisbon quay-sides, Anthony Faunt died. He was buried as instructed by his will in the church of St Bartholomew at Foston. At the time of his death he had already enclosed much of the common land around Foston and had no less than 1300 sheep grazing there. His Eldest son Sir William Faunt continued the process of enclosure and by 1622 when the enclosures were virtually complete the village to all intents and purposes ceased to exist. Anthony's son Henry inherited property in Newton Harcourt and Wistow and it is his memorial that can still be seen in Foston church.

Anthony Faunt's wife Elizabeth remarried twice. Her second husband was William Brown K.B. and her third Joseph Harper of Swarkston Derby. She died on April 11th 1620. Mabel daughter of Anthony and Elizabeth married Henry Hastings of Humberstone a Grandson of Francis Hastings second earl of Huntingdon. [end quote]⁶

; per Wood email: [quote] 3. The Pedigree of Noel of Old Dalby (about 4 miles from where I live) shown Elizabeth Noel (who married Anthony Faunt) as the daughter of Andrew Noel of Old Dalby and his second wife Elizabeth, the widow of Sir John Peryent, Knight, but by birth the daughter and heir of William Hopton of Shropshire. His first wife (by whom he had a son John Noel of Wellesborough) was Dorothy, the widow of Roger Flower of Whitwell, but by birth the daughter of Richard Coniers of Blaston.
[Dorothy's previous marriage to Roger Flower is confirmed in the Pedigree of Flower in "The History and Antiquities of the County of Rutland" by James Wright. First published in 1684.
[Nichols notes the some pedigrees have Elizabeth as Andrew Noel's first wife, and Dorothy as his second, but says that this is disproved by a monument in the Church at Old Dalby].
The altar-tomb in St. John the Baptist Church at Old Dalby reads: "Heir lieth Andrewe Noell, esquyer, disceased ye xxiii day of Januarie, ano dni 1562; and Dorythe his wyfe, desceassed ano dni 1548; and dame Elezabethe Peryent, now lyving, and late wyfe to ye said Andrewe Noell: whose soulles God pardon." [end quote]³

; per Will Johnson: [quote] This Elizabeth Noel is called "daughter of Andrew Noel of Dalby, Leics." At first I wanted to put her as a daughter to Sir Andrew Noel d 19 Oct 1607 (at Brooke, Rutland) but all his other children were born probably in the 1567-1605 time period and his daughter Elizabeth Noel, Countess of Castlehaven married the Earl of Castlehaven in 1611 and as late as 1638 was still styled "Countess of Castlehaven" when the Duchess of Lennox petitioned the council, on her behalf to have her safeguarded, because Elizabeth has apparently gone insane. So I believe that this Elizabeth (Noel) Faunt must be a dau of this Sir Andrew Noel's father, also called Andrew Noel of Dalby, thus making her a dau of Elizabeth Hopton. [end quote]²
