Notes

The parish of Christ Church is one of eleven historic political divisions of Barbados. It has a land area of 57 km2 (22 sq mi) and is found at the southern end of the island. Christ Church has survived by name as one of the original six parishes created in 1629 by Governor Sir William Tufton. The parish contains the Sir Grantley Adams International Airport as well as the last remaining mangrove swamp in the country, the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary. Under Barbados's historic vestry, the main parish church was originally seated near Dover. After it and the courtyard were destroyed by flood in 1669, the main parish church moved to Oistins area, becoming the main town and former capital of the parish.

Another notable area of Christ Church is Saint Lawrence Gap, which is the most lively tourist area on the island. Many of the taverns and clubs in St. Lawrence are frequented by locals and tourists alike.

The main posting says Robert Renfro married Mary Evans in 1660, but the Biography section says 28 Aug 1667. Which is correct? It seems the more specific date is right, so shouldn't the main entry be corrected? And can we infer that Susan Holmes died ca. 1666?

Renfro-114 and Renfro-592 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth/death dates. Same father.
