Dear Michael,
You commented earlier on that Jrff Chipman was the same
person who was insistant that Walter Blount II had more than one wife. I
replied that He was the one who was insistant that there were three Walter
Griffiths rather than two, He held that the first married Joan Neville, whose son, the
second Walter Griffith married Agnes, a daughter of Robert Constable of
Flamborough, and had a third Walter Griffith. In fact however the first two Walter
Griffiths were the same man. Hopefully this puts it into context.

Dear James

Thanks for your reply; sorry to be pedantic but I'm afraid you have it
the wrong way around. I made two comments on Jeff's earlier faux pas
about the Blount line:

"[Jeff,] you are the same genius who, after Douglas Richardson
presented the group with the Harleian Manuscript evidence of Sir Walter
Blount II that his father had two wives, replied that it was 'an
error'."

(2) On the thread entitled Maternity of Elizabeth Dale, wife of William
Rogers of Lancaster Co., VA, I posted on 4 April 2006:

"On the subject of apologies, perhaps you owe this group an apology for
the tirades you subjected us to recently while you were 'proving' your
three Sir Walters and your 'novel' interpretation of heraldry,
subsequently shown to be wrong."

This illustrates the importance of not commenting without some of the
original context, because in this case you have twice had me saying the
complete opposite of what I said, and then twice correcting me when no
correction was required.

Sincerely,

James W Cummings
