      Dear Brad ~

      Below please find some information on Sir Thomas Tunstall and his wife, Isabel Harington, and on their son, Sir Thomas Tunstall, and his wife, Eleanor Fitz Hugh. My sources are cited for both generations. I show your Alice, wife of Sir Thomas Parr, to be the daughter of Sir Thomas Tunstall, by Isabel Harington. This material will eventually appear in the forthcoming book, Baronial Ancestry, the third book in the planned Royal Ancestry series. I wish to thank Leslie Mahler for kindly pointing out the Chippingdall book mentioned below to me.

      Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
