Paston 1: Paston of Appleton, Paston of Barningham, Paston of Oxnead, Paston of Paston, Paston of Yarmouth

BEB1841 reports that this family is said to have settled in England "immediately after the Conquest". Visitors since 22nd March 2009:

It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Pa33. Wolstane or Wolstan or William de Paston, Norfolk

Pa32. Wolstane or William Paston of Paston b ~1070

m _ Glanvile

b about1170 Pa29. Robert Paston of Paston

b about 1210 Pa28=26 Edmund Paston of Paston

Visitation does not identify Edmund's wife but the book used as the Main Source for the Glanville family shows Edmund as married to the following Matilda. However that Glanville book shows Edmund as son of Richard son of Wulstan apparently missing out some generations, if Visitation is to be believed and shows Edmund & Matilda as parents of both the following Walter and the Clement shown by Visitation as Walter's son. We provisionally follow Visitation but note that there may be some errors here.

The following are shown by BEB1841 as children of William but by Visitation as children of William's son John. Other than to report that he was son of Judge William, BE1883 starts with John, showing him as married to Margaret Mantby having John and "several other children" then Anne Beaufort having Sir William "inter alios". Following cross-references from elsewhere and noting the dates, we suggest the following allocation but stress that it is not certain.

Pa16. Sir William Paston

m Anne Beaufort dau of Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset continued her father's tradition of horse breeding.

Pa15-1 William Paston dsp

Pa15=18 Anne Paston continued her mother's tradition of horse breeding as did her daughter Mary Talbot

m Sir Gilbert Talbot d 22.10.1542

Pa15-3 Elizabeth Paston continued her mother's tradition of horse breeding as did her son Henry Savile.

m Sir John Savill of Thornhill

Pa15-4 Mary Paston b 19.01.1469/70, d 1489 apparently of this generation

m Ralph Nevill dvp 1498, son of Earl of Westmorland

Pa19 Anne Paston

m William Yelverton a 1474

Pa22-2. Elizabeth Paston

m1 Robert Poynings d 17.02.1460/1, son of Lord Robert

We presume that this was the Elizabeth, wrongly described by BEB1841 Browne of Beechworth as widow of Richard, Lord Poynings, who also married ...

m2 Sir George Browne of Beechworth Castle d 1483

Pa22-3. Margery Paston uncertain on what generation she belonged to

m Robert Colle or Call

Pa22-4.+ other issue - Edmund, Walter
