NOTES:

It is notable that Cicelie gave no legacies to any Barker or Charlton.  All of Cicelie’s bequests seem to be to her side of the family, especially the family of her first husband, William Jenyns (Jenings), and to her family, the Leightons.  Rowland's first wife was Cicelie Charlton and confusion over two wives named Cicelie!  Cecelie Charlton died January 1, 1582/83.  Cicelie (Leighton) Jenyns was the second wife of Rowland Barker.

"Cecilia uxor William Jenyns (Jenings) of Walliborne, renupta Barker."  Cicelie's sister Elizabeth (d. 16 May 1606) married Sir Thomas Scriven of Frodesley (b. abt. 1522, d. 22 Nov 1587).  Their sister Eleanor married Thomas Heneage.  Her brother Thomas Leighton, Governor of Guernsey married Elizabeth, daughter of Catherine Knollys and niece of the infamous Lettice Knollys.  Elizabeth was the granddaughter of Mary Boleyn and niece of Anne Boleyn.

The parents of Cicelie Leighton were John Leighton and "Jocosa" (other places, Joyce), daughter of Edward Sutton, 2nd Baron Dudley, (c. 1460-31 Jan 1531/32), per The Visitation of Shropshire 1623.  However, Genealogica Et Heraldica, Vol. II, 1877, names her father as Sir Edward Leighton of Wattlesborough!  More research needed here, but seems more likely that Edward and not John Leighton was her father.  John is said to have died in 1532.  Cicelie would have to have been born before that, which would mean she was more than 20+ years older than Rowland Barker!

Sir Thomas Leighton was Governor of Guernsey (1570-1609). 

Sir Edward Leighton, Esq. was sheriff of Montgomery in 1592.

Richard Leighton, Esq. of Gwernygo, Montgomery, was sheriff in 1599.

Edward Phipps, gentleman, married Mrs. Joyce Jenyns 20 Apr 1590.

Anne Leighton, daughter of Thomas, married John Jenyens.

Sir Thomas Leighton was buried 1604.

Dame Elizabeth Leighton, widow of Wattlesborough, was buried 1620.

Thomas Clough, gentleman, and Rebecca Jenings married 21 Dec 1591.

The wife of Edward Scriven, of Frodesley, Sara or Sarah, was buried 17 Oct 1624.

Jane Scriven married Evan Davies on January 26, 1602/03.  (St. Lucia, Upton Magna).

Condover parish registers (Litchfield Diocese) list several births, marriages and deaths of Scrivens.
