Attree and J.H.L. Booker, “The Sussex Colepepers, Part I and II,” Sussex Archaeological Collections, 47 (1904):47–81 and 48 (1905):65–98. The pedigree of “Colepeper of Bedgebury” (48:72–73) shows Walter Roberts of Cranbrook married to Isabel, daughter of Sir John Culpepper of Bedgebury and his wife Agnes, sister of John Gainsford. The identification of Isabel’s father as Sir John Culpeper is consistent with the Roberts pedigrees in both Kent visitations (Hovenden [note 6], 93, and Bannerman [note 12], 2:24) and in the Roberts (p. 68) and Culpepper (p. 2) pedigrees in the Sussex visitation [note 17]. Other Culpepper pedigrees in these visitations omit Isabel."

K. Morton & Sons, 1909), 21, reports that John Gainsford’s inquisition post mortem names his eldest son John as age 30 and more on 8 February 1450/1. Agnes was not named in John Gainsford’s will, but her identity as the sister of his sons John and William is confirmed by a court case (p. 18 in the Gainsford book, also discussed in Attree and Booker, 47:58–60) involving the abduction of Agnes’ daughters, Margery and Elizabeth Wakehurst, by Nicholas and Richard Culpepper, brothers of her second husband John Culpepper. Agnes’ first husband was Richard Wakehurst, son of Richard and Elizabeth Wakehurst..."
