• Research Notes: Wingfield Family Society Genealogy Chart, www.wingfield.org. ¹ "Most Wingfields are descended for the prominent Saxon family that was in Suffolk, England before the Norman Conquest in 1066. The village of Wingfield is shown in the Doomsday Book of 1086. Their influence spread throughout England. Many were knights, two of whom were Knights of the Garter. They were advisors to kings and one was the Chief of Staff to the Black Prince. Some married royal blood and several were Lords of the Manor in a number of areas of England. Edward Maria Wingfield was the first president of the Jamestown Colony. The inventor of tennis was Walter Wingfield. Another family of Wingfields stem from Derbyshire, England, where in mediaeval times some of them were armigerous (i.e. had a coat of arms) and are today traceable (through the Wingfield Family Society). Hundreds of Wingfields trek back to England to see historical sites, such as the 14th century Wingfield Castle."

William married Wife of William Wingfield DIX, daughter of Jarvis DIX and Wife of Jarvis DIX (MAIDEN UNKNOWN), in Charles City, Virginia. (Wife of William Wingfield DIX was born in 1642 in Virginia.)
