Research Notes:
The descendants of Nicholas Eyre, who was married to Joanna Barlow, and who was the father of Robert Eyre, are documented in Nicholas's descent [1] and the descent of Nicholas's son, Robert [2].
However, the ancestry of Nicholas is uncertain. Two pedigrees show different fathers for Nicholas Eyre.
One ancestry for Nicholas Eyre, from Vincent Eyre of Dronfield Woodhouse, shows Nicholas as the son of Nicholas Eyre of Hope [3] [4]. We show this ancestry for Nicholas Eyre [5], married to Joanna Barlow, and his descendants.
Another ancestry compiled about 1640, in the possession of George Eyre of Michelfield, shows this Robert Eyre, of Hope, in the year 20 Ric. II, as the father of Nicholas Eyre [6]. We do not follow the descendants of this Robert.
