Biography

Dorothy (Honeywood) Croke was born in Charing, Kent, England.

Research

As William Croke and his wife Dorothy Croke lived until 1642, it is not possible that Dorothy then married Henry Thompson in 1589. As Henry Thompson died in 1648, it is not possible that Dorothy then married William Croke. As Dorothy Croke was buried in Chilton with William Croke, it is not possible that she was buried at Lenham with Henry Thomson five years later.

This Dorothy (L in the Posterity list), daughter of Mary Atwater, was the wife of William Croke. The Dorothy married to Henry Thompson, (AA in the Posterity list) was the daughter of Dorothy Crooke Honywood, first daughter of the first wife of Mary Atwater's son Robert. She is Honywood-121.

Accordingly, references to Honywood-121 Dorothy Thompson and her family have been removed from this profile.
