Warwickshire / Re: INNOCENT family

Thomas Innocent (born 1718) is my 6xgrandfather. As has been stated, he married Elizabeth Lagoe in 1746. Her surname is very interesting as it's the maiden name of George Fox's mother. George, you may recall was the founder of the Quaker movement and he lived just across the Leicestershire border in Fenny Drayton. Elizabeth was the direct descendant of George's mother's brother. So anyone (like me) who can show they are descendants of this Innocent family can also claim aconnection with George Fox. In my case, he is my first cousin 11 times removed. I hope this information is of use.
