2 Plantagenet Ancestry: A Study In Colonial And Medieval Families, 2nd Edition, 2011, Douglas Richardson, p. 265. The parentage of Elizabeth Harington, wife of Sir John Stanley, is given incorrectly in many secondary sources. Elizabeth's correct parentage as daughter of Sir Nicholas Harington (died 1404), of Farleton, co. Lancaster, is indicated by the papal dispensation that Elizabeth's granddaughter, Margaret Stanley, obtained in 1460 to marry her cousin, John Boteler, of Warrington. Margaret Stanley and John Boteler were stated to be related in the 3rd degree of kindred (that is, 2nd cousins), they both being great-grandchildren of Sir Nicholas Harington.
