Descendents of 24a. Sir Robert Jocelyn; the Earls of Roden: This pedigree list begins with the eldest son of Thomas Jocelyn and Anne Braye, the 23rd. generation of Jocelyns as shown above. In the list, Sir Robert Jocelyn, the eldest son, bears the identifying label 24a. In the list below, each entry is assigned a unique code following the format used in the Waller descendent list. Because all of the entries below are descendents of (24a) Sir Robert Waller, all of the codes carry the prefix (24a) and are formed by alternately appending an additional letter or number for each subsequent generation. Siblings within a family are distinguished by letters a, b, c etc. or 1, 2, 3, etc.
