"Three Great-Migration Gentlewomen"

Question

Three sisters can be connected thanks to an article in the new TAG 91, pages 250-260, "Three Great-Migration Gentlewomen: Sisters Margaret (Gentleman) Ibrook, Susan (Gentleman) (Hunter) Hollingsworth, and Joan (Gentleman) (Herrington) Youngs of Southwold, Suffolk, and Massachusetts"

The sisters are

* Margaret (Unknown) Ibrook
* Joan (Jentilman) Youngs (incorrect parents)
* Susanna (Gentleman) Hollingsworth (no parents)

All are daughters of Thomas Gentleman and Christian (Cock) Gentleman, and there are several generations documented in England.

I imagine some kind person in PGM would like the fun of reuniting the sisters.

Comments

It seems like there is some work to be done beyond just connecting them as far as reconciling or updating other sources on the profiles, updating narratives etc.  My recommendation would be that somebody with full access to that TAG 91 article (I don't have it) make those edits and connections so that it's done properly.

Answer 1

This is from PCC Will of Thomas Gentleman, of Southwold, merchant (PROB-11-93-201)
Made December 1598, probate March 1598/9
Wife Christian
Daughters Agnes, Elizabeth, Joan, Susan, one child now in the wombe of the saide Christian
Brother William (executor), Sister Elizabeth Lions

Margaret must be the "child now in the wombe".

The father of Thomas would be Thomas Jentilman the Younger, merchant of Southwold, 1587, PROB 11/71/268. In it he mentions his sons Richard, William, Thomas (not yet 18), daughter Martha (not yet 16), wife Dorothy, sole executrix, and father Thomas Jentillman, to be supervisor.
