Notes

Children baptized at Ipswich: Mary (1732), James (1738), Ebenezer (1744) and Lucy (30 Aug 1747).

Mollie (pp. 103-106) has one James Lord, son of Robert the marshal, as Lucy’s father. The records show two: this James (b. 12 Apr 1707) and his father James (b. 27 Jan 1676/7, d. 1734). Lucy was the younger James’s daughter.

Checked against the records

  • Disproven
    James Lord, born 1676, married Mary Fuller and was Lucy's father

    There were two James Lords. James Sr. (b. 27 Jan 1676/7, d. 1734) was the marshal's son; his son James Jr. (b. 12 Apr 1707) married Mary Fuller on 5 Jan 1731/2, and their children baptized at Ipswich were Mary, James, Ebenezer and Lucy. Mary Fuller was probably Nathaniel Fuller's daughter, as Mollie's Fuller chart has it.
