The marriage of Anne Honywood and Thomas Fox took place at Charing, which suggests she was the Anne daughter of Robert Honywood of Charing.
However, in the parish records of Charing, events related to the patron Honywood family were generally entered in an elaborate script, which this marriage was not.
To avoid confusion and possible duplication, Anne's LNAB should be changed to Honywood.
Honeywood-22 and Honeywood-17 appear to represent the same person because: Honeywood-17 seems like a neglected and poorly sourced duplicate, and should be retired
Since her father married on 4 Dec. 1598, it would be a good idea to change her birth date from "about 1591" to "about 1599" as a more reasonable guess.
Regarding the proposed merge, while Honeywood-22 and Honeywood-17 almost surely represent the same person, they are currently married to and parents of different people having the same names.
In particular, the sons "Thomas Fox" are two separate colonists with documented separate lives. One is commonly called "Thomas of Concord" and the other "Thomas of Cambridge".
I'm not as familiar with T. of Cambridge, but T. of Concord is my ancestor, and unfortunately I have not been able to verify his parents in England.
I am also a descendent of Thomas from Concord. I was born on the Fox farm in Dracut (didn't grow up there). If I interpret your post above, you are cautious about claiming Thomas and Annis Honeywood as the pararents of Thomas of Concord. I do have to wonder about this particular profile as it is very contradictory within itself. Would you be willing to clarify, eaborate your thoughts with this distant "cousin"?
Thanks, Char
I've been working on the New England profiles that supposedly connect to this family (seems pretty clear to me its speculative). But also, I think this profile is now a conflation of two different Ann Honeywoods. Thomas Fox in his diary says that his wife Ann Honiwood was born in 1588. So, that I think she was this woman's aunt, daughter of Robert Honeywood--maybe?
