This list was chosen since most of what I know so far involves the individuals shown in the list. Please note that the son listed won\u2019t always be the first born son and it doesn\u2019t show wives or all children.\u00a0 This list is the best attempt given what we thus far have discovered and has been compiled from a variety of sources.\u00a0 In other words there are undoubtedly some inaccuracies.\u00a0 Fortunately because this is the internet, if\/when I come across more accurate information, I will come back to this posting and make the correction(s).<\/p>\n<p>Here we go!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\">Carel \u201cCharles\u201d.\u00a0 Born: After 1620 in Newport, Wales.
