Background
Burke Extinct and Dormant Pedigrees
and the
Harleian Society Visitations
In looking for primary sources to validate the lineage of Combes and allied families, it is worthwhile to compare the Burke Extinct and Dormant Pedigrees and the Harleian Society Visitations (See Vince Griffin's Lovett Family Lineages) to see what differences may exist between these two versions of the LOVETT lineage of which Elizabeth LOVETT who married John COMBES at Soulbury, Bucks, England descends. The generations are named as they appear in order as presented in the Burke lineage. See Also comparison to History of Bucks… under Direct Descendancey below; and the Lovett Ecclesiastical Memorials.

Conclusion -- There are some distinct differences in this lineage prior to Gen.12. Specifically, there is disagreement at Burke generations 4/5,8/9/10,11/12, and 12/13; and at Harleian generation 10. Not all generations are represented by Harleian. This means that the closer forward in time Burke more closely matches the Buck History, while Harliaen more fits closely for a large part of the middle part of the lineage. There are some similarities that need to be noted between Burke and Harleian since they appear to believe that there as a generation or more that includes the name Roger Lovett. These should not be discounted and all data should be taken into consideration when using this to document this lineage as accurately as possible. Denise Mortorff
The reason for making this comparison is to be certain the differences in descendancy are obvious and the implications for researching this lineage further are apparent. Also, once researching at the manorial level or in land records it will be apparent where land holdings were stated, not as concrete evidence, but as clues as to where to begin searching in associated records; i.e., parishes, etc. Also, the siblings and their surnames may assist us in locating family members; i.e., Archdale COMBE to verify if he is merely contemporary or is the same person as Archdale COMBES of Old Rappahannock County, VA. I would not view either lineage as perfect or better than the other, but as useful in finding primary documentation that will support this lineage further by those who find they descend through the union of Elizabeth LOVETT and John COMBES married at Soulbury Parish, Bucks. Please feel free to advise or question this data since I could have quite easily made mistakes. This took an inordinate amount of time to figure out and I have no doubts there could be errors.
