Dear Will ~

It appears that Henry (or Harry) Belknap, Esq., died 1488, and his
wife, Margaret Knollys, had a seventh child, Margaret, wife of John
Boteler, Esq., of Woodhall Watton, Hertfordshire, who died 18 August
1513. See the weblink below for more details:

Because Margaret (Belknap) Boteler predeceased her brother, Sir Edward
Belknap, she was not included among his heirs. I also assume Margaret
died without surviving issue. Margaret's death date and parentage
probably comes from a monumental inscription which Mr. Clutterbuck saw.
If so, it should be cited in his history of Hertfordshire.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
