Notes
Her sister Christian married Edmund’s brother William Freeman in 1620. Her father’s estate was the subject of the Chancery suit of January 1633/4, nearly four years after her death, which Edmund brought for their five living children against his brother William, John Gratwicke and others. The depositions are the only record of four of the children’s baptisms (Dawes-Gates 2:350, paraphrasing).
Open questions
- The colonial tree marks her baptism at All Saints Barking as documented; the page keeps it as compiled, since it is known here only from Bush’s article as summarised online.
