There is a 1656 court record that states the following:

Wife Johanna was soon to pass away, dying by 1658.

Thomas married Jane, widow of Peter Wigglesworth (Rigglesworth), Then Thomas died. Jane Wigglesworth Horne remarried Thomas Lovell. Somehow the children's estate fell into his hands.

Boddie: On March 1, 1660/1 Joan Yates, grandmother of the orphans of Thomas Horne, complained of their ill usage by Thomas Lovell "their father-in-law" (book D, 288)^[5]

[Thomas was the third husband of Thomas Horne's second wife, Jane].

Mary and Thomas Horne were over 14 in 1661, as they chose guardians in that year (D:298, 307), and Mary married in 1661/2 (D,337).

In 1662 Thomas Lovell was ordered to give up the estates of the orphans Thomas and Elizabeth Horne to their grandmother Joan Yates, and the estate of Joanna Horne, orphan, to George (B)Valentine (D, 341, 343). Taken together these records indicate that Mary (?) Yates and Thomas Horne had four children, Mary, Thomas, Elizabeth, and Joanna or Hannah.)^[6]

Research Notes

They had four children in 1652/3, cited as deceased in March 1652/3 (Lower Norfolk Co. court record book 3:30), had four children by then, so must have married by about 1644-46 and therefore must have been born by about 1628-1630.
