Notes

She and Clement emigrated and settled beside her brother Thomas at Weymouth; Clement later lived at Newport, Rhode Island. Children (Weaver 1928): Clement, born before 1625, the grandson of the will; Elner, baptised 10 Sep 1623 at St Benedict’s, Glastonbury; and Elizabeth, who married Thomas Dungan.

Open questions

Is she the Rebecka, daughter of William Holbrooke, baptised at Keynsham on 12 Jan 1594/5? It falls in William’s Compton Dando years, a few miles away, but it is one baptism of a common name.
