The Le Franceys Family is the earliest known progenitors of the Westmoreland Line. Given the Norman spelling of the line, I have long hypothesized that these Le Franceys are descended from Gilbert Le Francais mentioned in the Battle Abbey Roll, or some such similar person. A testable solution exists to this end - Gilbert Le Franceys had at least one son, Richard, who inherited land and title in Haddon and took the name of the estate - Vernon. The descendants of Sir Richard Vernon (son of Gilbert Le Franceys) has been unbroken for 6 centuries. Hypothetically, the Westmoreland DNA can be compared against Vernon DNA to see if there is a match. If there is, then it would prove that hypothesis correct, if not, the hypothesis must be rejected.  
The Le Franceys Family is the earliest known progenitors of the Westmoreland Line. Given the Norman spelling of the line, I have long hypothesized that these Le Franceys are descended from companions of William of the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. However, without actual evidence to support this it is merely conjecture at this point.

The Le Franceys Family is the earliest known progenitors of the Westmoreland Line. Given the Norman spelling of the line, I have long hypothesized that these Le Franceys are descended from companions of William of the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. However, without actual evidence to support this it is merely conjecture at this point.
