Her second husband.

Widow of John Tompson of Little Preston. Her brother, Thomas Freeman of Cranford, gent., left a will in 1637 naming "sister Tompson" and her children, among them Mary and Bridget. She was at Roxbury by April 1640 with her daughters Mary, Bridget and Dorothy. No relation is known to Edmund Freeman of Sandwich.

She is a well-known "gateway" ancestor. Her descent from King John has been disproved (the Joan de Harley link, The Genealogist 1980 and 1989, and the Margaret ferch Llywelyn link). WikiTree reports a line from Æthelred II used by Gary Boyd Roberts; it has not been evaluated. Roberts documents her as a 10th-great-grandmother of Diana, Princess of Wales, through her daughter Dorothy (Tompson) Parke, which makes Harriet Low a distant cousin of Diana.
