      Footnotes
      [1] Note that many pedigrees, including Burke's Landed Gentry (Vol 4, p 215), make Robert the second son of Henry Banks of Bank Newton; the same error is given in Betham's Baronetage (Volume 4, p76). Apparently (e.g. see Landed Families) this was a fiction invented by Robert's descendent Joseph Banks when he made a petition to the College of Arms in 1719. More discussion of the genealogical fabrication is at https://archive.org/stream/publicationslinc45lincuoft/publicationslinc45lincuoft_djvu.txt
