Family:Edward Dale and Diana Skipwith (1)

Actually, Douglas Richardson wrote a spirited and convincing defense of Katherine Dale being the daughter of Diana Skipwith. He still accepts this in his authoritative treatise Royal Ancestry. Here is his convincing evidence http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GEN-MEDIEVAL/2001-01/0978931384

   daughter of Sr. Henry Skypwith"
   
   "Edward Dale and Diana Skipwith were married sometime between 17 November
   1655 and 9 June 1660 in Lancaster County, Virginia. This makes it highly
   unlikely, if not impossible, for Diana Skipwith to have been the mother
   
   
   of Katherine (Dale) Carter, whose birth took place about 1652-53 and who
   was married to Thomas Carter in 1670. The identity of Katherine (Dale)
   Carter's mother, at present, remains unknown and she therefore has no
   known royal ancestry."
