Biography

The frequently seen christening or birth date seen of 25 Mar 1642 is incorrect. It is the christening for an Adam Short who is son of Henry and Elizabeth Short.^[1][2] There is a Walberton, Sussex christening record for a Henry Short, son of Henry and Elizabeth, who was born 1647 (see Research Notes) and a Henry, son of Thomas and Agnes, who was born 1641.

Children

Miriam Short

Ann Short

Adam Short

Marriage:  : Date: 1664 : Place: Sussex, England^{[citation needed]}

Henry is believed to have passed away in 1675 based upon an index of probate records at Sussex: Chichester - Calendar of Wills in the Consistory Court of the Bishop of Chichester, 1482-1800^[3] However, there is as yet no documentation that this record is that of this Henry.

Death: Date: 15 APR 1674, Place: Ford, Sussex, England^[2]

Research Notes

If christened as a child, the Henry of 1647 would have been only 17 years of age at the documented birth of Miriam. Young for the period but not unseen.
