Juliana Pershall

Disputed Origins

Note: Juliana Pershall is seen as a daughter of this Robert Corbett in some pedigrees, of Roger Corbett in others, or as simply “daughter of Lord Corbett of Moreton Corbett.” She’s not listed in Visitations, History of Parliament, or “The family of Corbet.” The dates also do not work well for her to be a child of this Robert Corbet, Lord of Moreton, MP, Sheriff of Shropshire or of his brother Roger.

6. SIR HUGH DE PESHALL, son of Hugh de Peshall, Chapter 21, Section 1, married Juliana, widow of John Sandford and daughter of Sir [Roger] Corbet of Moreton Corbet Castle, Salop. Child: -
1. *5. HUMPHREY PESHALL, Chapter 23, Section 1.

Her father died August 12, 1420. She cannot have been born later than (early) 1421 as a (presumed) posthumous child.

She cannot have been born much earlier than that, either, unless not all the children attributed to her are actually hers.

Julianna CORBET (3rd daughter of Sir Robert CORBET Sheriff of Shropshire d 1420 & Margaret, m 1411) 1 was born 1416 in Moreton Corbet, Shropshire, England. She married Sir John SANDFORD Knight on 1434 in Sandford, Shropshire, England.

• The pedigree of the family as given by Rev. John Persall and the Pedigree of the Pearsall family of Wallsbridge, make Sir Hugh Peshall the son of Nicholas Peshall; whereas the latter was father of Hugh, and grandfather of Sir Hugh. The Visitations of 1614, 1663-64 allowed the descent there claimed, but as the same time indicated that there was a generation intervening between Nicholas and Sir Hugh, which is confermed by the records, which disclose his part in the War of the Roses, as a partizan of the side of the house of Lancaster. This statement of the pedigree of Hugh Peshall is confirmed by a comparison with the generations of descent from Humphrey Peshall brother of Sir Thomas Peshall, grandfather of Hugh Peshall, as is clearly shown by the following chart: .... etc.
