James Jocelyn married Joan Threckenholm, daughter of Henry Threckenholm.1
Roger Joslyn, a certified genealogist, in correspondence quoted by Carol A. Kroeger in her Josselyn Family History, warned that the family lineage before about 1248 is suspect because it is from pedigrees in the Visitations, with little or no primary documentation to back it up.2 In a 2004 article he wrote ". . . the best published genealogical account of 1635 New England immigrant Thomas Josselyn remains that by Elizabeth French . . . For Thomas's earliest ancestry, Miss French relied on the published visitations of Essex, the pedigrees of which probably cannot be verified before about the year 1200."3
