_Jane_, Countess of Henry Neville, _fifth_ Earl of Westmoreland, was daughter of SIR ROGER CHOLMLEY, of Kinthorpe and Roxby, co. York. (_Vis. York. Harl. MS._ 1487. _fol._ 354.) She is often confused with his other wife, Anne Manners, and also with her own sister, Margaret Gascoigne, both in the Neville and Cholmley pedigrees as _printed_. (Burke's _Extinct Baronetage_, art. _Cholmley_, and _Extinct Peerage_, art. _Neville_.) But while the Manners pedigree in Collins's _Peerage_ (by Longmate, vol. i. p. 433.), as cited by Q. D., removes the former difficulty, that of Gascoigne is disposed of by the Cholmley pedigree in Harl. MS. above quoted, as well as by that (though otherwise very incorrect) in Charlton's _Whitby_, book iii. pp. 290, 291. 313., and by the Gascoigne pedigree in Whitaker's _Richmondshire_, vol. i. p. 77. Thus we possess _legal and cotemporary_ evidence who JANE, Countess of _Henry_, _fifth_ Earl of Westmoreland, really was, without any authentic obstacle or unremoveable contradiction to its reception, viz. that she was a _Cholmley_. But I conceive your correspondent's identification is _totally_ erroneous. It is true he only puts an hypothesis on the subject; but this hypothesis has no solid foundation. In the first place, Henry, fifth Earl of Westmoreland, died in 1549; and all authorities seem to agree that his first wife was Anne Manners, and his second Cholmley's daughter. Thus, if either of his countesses were living in 1585, it must have been the _latter_, by which means all chance of appropriation is removed from Manners to Cholmley. But I shall now give reasons for contending that neither of these ladies was your correspondent's Countess of Westmoreland, by referring him (2ndly) to Longmate's _Collins's Peerage_, vol. i. p. 96., where he will find that _Jane_, daughter of Henry Howard, the talented and accomplished Earl of Surry, married Charles Neville, _sixth_ Earl of Westmoreland. He has evidently passed her over, through seeing her called _Anne_ in the Neville pedigrees: "Anne" and "Jane" being often mutually misread in old writing, from the cross upon the initial letter of the last name.
