Many thanks for your post - it takes a lot of reading!
If I understand it correctly, I think you are saying that Thomas Wilkes (who died between 08/16/1558 - 02/26/1559) married Joan Leveson and had 2 sons, Thomas and William. Then that the son William had a daughter, Frances, who married Sir Erasmus Dryden, 1st Baronet.
I think this is incorrect because the William (whose daughter Frances married Sir Erasmus Dryden) was brother to Thomas (who died between 08/16/1558 - 02/26/1559) and not his son. See A History of the County of Warwick: Volume 6: Knightlow hundred (1951), pp. 114-16. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=57108http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=57108
However the suggestion of Joan Leveson as wife to Thomas does seem probable given the evidence of his will (see A Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Deeds: Volume 5 (1906), pp. 548-565. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64459)http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64459), although who were her parents?
However the suggestion that they had children who survived them does not seem probable because Thomas left his estates to his brother, William, and why would he do this if he had his own children and heirs?
Can I ask where you have derived the proposed name of Joan Leveson for the wife of Thomas Wilkes? And where does the name Joyce come from as the suggested name for the wife of William, please?
I am very grateful for all you have posted and I hope you will be able to help with my above queries.
Many thanks,
Caspar
