Visitation Hampshire, 1575+1622-34, Cotton supports the following, starting with ...

m1/2. Elizabeth or Mary Blount sister of Sir Edward Blount and of Sir Christopher of Kidderminster
m2/1. Elizabeth Lumley dau of Thomas Lumley of Scarborough by Elizabeth, natural dau of Edward IV
Visitation ends with this generation having shown Richard as married to Elizabeth Blount. It appears that 'The Baronetage of England' suggests that the mother of Richard's daughter Elizabeth was Elizabeth Lumley although this contradicts what we have seen elsewhere. Richard's successors are as reported in VCH Hampshire vol 3, Warblington + Bedhampton.
