Hello Cissells and Cecils.
I have followed with interest the discussion of Cissells as Earls of Exeter.
I've gathered a good bit of info -- mostly from the excellent researchers on
this list and several books- and although I don't claim documentation for
much of this, it does seem NOT to agree
with some of the Cissell folks info.
I have only one wife [Dorothy Nevill] for Thomas [First Earl Exeter] CECIL.
and William CECIL his firstborn son who would have been SECOND Earl
Exeter, was indeed married second to one
Elizabeth Drury.
According to what I have read here and elsewhere, the William CECIL, b.1666
[father of our
Phillip, John and Susanna], MIGHT have been the GRANDson of either
SIRKNIGHT RICHARD 'NEVILL' CECIL [b.abt 1570] and wife ELIZABETH COPE or
HIS BROTHER....
THOMAS 'NEVILL' CECIL [b. 1578] and second wife SUSAN OXENBRIDGE..
HOWEVER, as neither of these links have been proven [to my knowledge anyway]
there is probably not ready documentation for either, sadly for the many on
the list who descend from WilliamCecil 1666. He was a very mysterious
character to say the least.
I do not show a CISSELL spelling [though I realize this changed easily]
until a later generation and again the link to the WILLIAM above "our
William Cecil" is NOT proven.
Please anyone on the list who has more recent info or any documentation,
please share same with all of us and also please correct any mistakes in my
FTM shown below.
Thanks
