Profiles Mentioned:

This profile lists Elizabeth as the daughter of William Hody, while the source "A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Large" suggests that she is William's granddaughter, through son Reginold. Some people have Elezabeth as the wife of both Richard Strode and Sir John Sydenham, while others cite William's daughter Joan Hody as the wife of John Sydenham. I would suggest that Sir John was not the husband of Elizabeth Hody, but of Joan, daughter of William Hody. The biographical entry for William Hody found in "Dictionary of National Biography, Volumes 1-20, 22" list him as having only two daughters, neither named Elizabeth (2 sons, Reginold and John, 2 daughters, Joan, who married Richard Warr, and Jane, who married Lawrence Wadham). This contradiction needs to be addressed.
