Alice Withers married Gregory Carter (1550-1607) perhaps in Ickworth, Suffolk, England, in 1575. Per Gregory Carter's will dated 26 Jul 1606, they had eight children: Robert, Humphrey; (Thomas) James Carter (1585-1625); Thomas; Edmund; Anne; Margaret; Elizabeth. Anne and Margaret may have been children of Alice Withers' first marriage, and several sources also (improbably!) add a son, William (1563-1625) [born before either his father or mother were born!!!]. Note that the date of marriage for Gregory Carter and Alice Withers is given variously as 1575, 12 Jul 1584, or 1 Nov 1598. Lacking proof for any of the options, it is probably best to give 1575 as the date.
