Notes
1. Some researchers have speculated on a connection to the Robert Marshall who married Margaret Yeo in 1767.
2. Grandson William Yeo Harrington (baptised 1738), great grandson William Yeo Harrington (1770–1775).
3. Sheila recorded that Ursula married George Arundell, but the place and date of this marriage (Buckland Filleigh, 1670) appear to exclude it.
