The 1623 Visitation of Surrey (Harl. 1561, fos. 29b and 30) states that Richard was heir to his cousin. Bannerman (p. 31) gives the name of the cousin as Jone Boys, but Nichols (p. 220) and Ellis (p. 239) give the name as John Boys.

(presumed) Grandfather: Richard Boys of Watchet, Somerset.

(presumed) Grandmother: Joan Walrond.

(presumed) Great-Grandfather: William Walrond of Buckland, Somerset.

(presumed) Great-Grandmother: Joan(?) Crawthorne.

(presumed) Great-Great-Grandfather: John Crawthorne of Dorset.

This information is inferred from the 1623 Visitation of Surrey (Bannerman p. 31). The informant was Sir Edmond Bowyer, the great-great grandson of Richard Boys. In the absence of corroborating evidence, it is unclear how much confidence we should have in the accuracy of the information.
