Since the new change in Juliane Fitz Maurice's maternity affects
the ancestry of such a large number of people, I thought I would
supply a list of the eighty colonial immigrants who descend from
her. If multiple descents exist, they are so noted. One
immigrant, Thomas Wingfield, has an astonishing eight descents
from this woman.

of Sir Thomas de Clare:
