*The first three generations have been supplied by the Rev. A. Fuller of 7 Sydenham Hill; the remainder of the pedigree was by Roby in 1832, Add. MS. 27,968, fo.,44.
John Roby, in his letter to Mr. Long, adds in a note "Thomas Byndloss Esq. who married Eliz. Cussans 1745 and died 1757, I have not been able to connect and some others are not noticed. It is very improbable that Mary Byndloss (your ancestress) who married Thomas Beckford 1734 should have been the daur. of Col. Byndloss, as she could not have been less than 47 and her husband was 23. I have not noticed them in this pedigree. I expect you will find (on re-looking) that she was a granddaur."
