Person:Elizabeth Donne (4)

Disputed Lineages

There is much disagreement in the sources about precisely who Elizabeth's father was. All agree that she was a Done of Utkinton, but some make her father (Sir) John Done, others a Jenkyn, the son of John Done. There is also disagreement on which John Done of Utkinton is being referred to. See the references below.
