✓ DOCUMENTED as to the relationship (Visitation of Essex De Vere pedigree p.47): SIR EDWARD TRUSSELL, of KIBBLESTONE, co. Stafford (CP vol. X p.247, photographed 22 Jul 2026) - father of ELIZABETH TRUSSELL, Countess of Oxford (our line; she was sister and heir of John Trussell); m. MARGARET, dau. of SIR JOHN DUN (added 22 Jul 2026). The Trussell pedigree is standard medieval-gentry material, extendable. Added 21 Jul 2026; wife + Kibblestone added 22 Jul 2026. [DIRECT ANCESTOR OF THE COMPILER: flag added 24 Jul 2026 by walking the tree from Aynsley, so that this marker is reliable and can be searched.] ||CP OXFORD p.169 CROSS-CHECK 8 Aug 2026 (Aynsley supplied, 2nd edn, entry XV, the 15th Earl)|| CP gives the 15th Earl's wife Elizabeth Trussell as 'da. of Sir Edward (or John) Trussell of Cublesdon, Knight Banneret, BY ELIZABETH da. and coheir of Sir JOHN BURLEY' - i.e. it names an ELIZABETH BURLEY as Elizabeth Trussell's mother, skipping our Margaret Dun/Donne. Read as a COMPRESSED pedigree this is consistent with our tree: the Trussell x Elizabeth Burley marriage sits two generations up (Thomas Trussell x Elizabeth Burley, I100537 x I100538), and the immediate mother Margaret Dun/Donne is supported by the modern History of Parliament (and carries the Dwnn->Scudamore->Owain Glyndwr and Dwnn->Hastings->Camoys lines). So NO change made. TWO nits to verify, NOT acted on: (1) CP calls Elizabeth Burley's father 'Sir JOHN Burley'; our tree wires her as da. of Sir WILLIAM Burley of Broncroft - which Burley? (2) CP's '(or John)' shows it was itself unsure of Edward's forename. Lesson of the Camoys/Despenser case applied: do not prune on a compressed/older CP reading; check the modern authority first.
