I agree that this Edward Roe-510 (b. 1630) is NOT the father of Elizabeth Roe (b. 1639) wife of Richard Gorsuch. He would have been only 9 years old when she was born.

Has anyone given a thought to any possibility that Edward-510 may have been Elizabeth's brother? Many other trees show them with the same parents - John Roe & Anne Inglis.

And, maybe that's why he left so much to Richard Gorsuch & his children?

I see where he referred to Richard Gorsuch (& others) as "my well beloved friends." Who's to say that one's brother-in-law can't also be a "well beloved friend."
