Lets start with who he wasn't. An email from Marilyn on the 15 June 2012 reminds us of this. |

Here's proof that Humphrey Belt was not
a son of Grace Foxcroft (1590, Halifax -
bu. 11 Aug 1664, Bossall) and Robert
Belt, married 17 June 1609, Halifax, West
Riding, Yorks.
Robert Belt (bpt. 22 Feb. 1575/6, St. Crux,
York - 4 Sep. 1656, Flaxton, North Riding,
Yorks., bu. Bossall. Will pr. 9 Oct.
1656) first married Jane Hudson and had a
dau. Jane.
Both Janes died in June 1607. Robert &
Grace's children, all baptized at All
Saints, Pavement, York, North Riding,
Yorkshire.
Marie (bpt. 20 Nov. 1610, bu. 11 Apr.
1627)
Leonard (bpt. 1 Apr. 1612 - 4
Apr. 1662)
Robert (bpt. 24 July 1614 - bu. 7
Jan. 1615)
Daniel (bpt. 6 Aug. 1615 - 7 July
1696, Putney, Middlesex).
Grace (bpt. 17 Oct. 1616 - bef. 6
June 1620, when next Grace was bpt.)
John (bpt. 8 May 1619 - bu. 9 May
1619).
Grace, bpt. 6 Je. 1620, m. 9 Sep. 1641,
Bossall, Richard NELSON
Sarah (bpt. 10 Feb. 1622, bu. 22 Mar.
1693, Bossall) m. 6 Feb. 1648,
Joseph OLEY; m2. Thomas BAWTRY.
Anne (bpt. 23 Mar. 1623, bu. 27 Mar.
1623).
John (bpt. 18 Je. 1624 - 31 July 1632,
Bossall)
Jasper (bpt. 31 July 1625 - bef. June
1661, Allerthorpe by Pocklington, East
Riding, Yorks.
William (bpt. 22 Dec. 1628 - 6 Oct.
1631)
Robert (bpt. 30 Nov. 1630 - 1664).
If we keep this list handy and show that
Robert, Daniel, & Grace were b. 1614,
1615, & 1616, and the others were born
too close together to allow
for a Humphrey, we MIGHT convince a few people not to list Humphrey as son of Robert & Grace.
