Notes for Letitia Russell
RCLP-L writes:
"Ann, dau of Thos. Cheek of Purgo, Essex by Letitia elder daughter & at length sole hr of the Hon Edward Russell fourth Earl of Bedford."
VCH has a slight different story, that Edward was the second son of Francis earl of Bedord.
Confirmed in CoKayne's Baronetage. And see Burke's extinct peers, p. 13.
I wonder if she was an eventual heir? Yes, all her brothers dsp; see Burke’s Peerage of 2003, vol I, p. 319.
