Lookup needed ''TAG'' Vol. 88 (Jul 2016) [closed]

Question

I'm trying to verify conflicting information on parents. I have access to TAG articles but only through 2010, and need the 2016 volume if anyone has it.

The article is by Leslie Mahler, "Randalls of Topcroft, Norfolk: Ancestors of John1 Hunting, Susanna1 (Hunting) Richards, Anna1 (Hunting) Phillips of Dedham, Massachusetts" in TAG (Jul 2016) 88.3:195-200.

Does the article prove that her father was John? An earlier article (Robert Charles Anderson, "The English Origin of John Hunting (1602-1689) of Dedham, Massachusetts," NGSQ  Vol. 78 (June 1990):85-97) says her father ''might''' be William.

Thanks!!

FYI American Ancestors currently only shows TAG through Vol. 84, sorry

I have the same question, Bobbie.  Can't wait for it to become available in July, 2019.  John Randolf also had a child named Margaret in 1578, so it's not clear if her father was William or John.  Also would like to know their parents.

Does anyone have a copy of this article?  Can you contribute to the profile cited above?  Thx.

Or even a kind-hearted soul whose local libary has it. Mine lacks good gene magazines.

Answer 1

TAG 88:195-200 is now online at AmericanAncestors (for members). Author Leslie Mahler, FASG, provides what looks like pretty conclusive evidence that Margaret, wife of William Hunting, wasn't the daughter of a William (as suggested by RCA in 1990) but was instead the daughter of John Randall/Randolf and Ellen Woodcock.

In her 1607/8 will, widow Ellen Randall of Topcroft names not only her daughter Margaret Hunting but also son-in-law William Hunting as well as John, Mary, Nicholas and Samuel Hunting, all matching known children of William and Margaret (apparently there were eleven baptized, not all came to New England and not all are profiled here on WT).

This would confirm the 28 Sep 1578 baptism (daughter of John) and refute the 15 Nov 1579 baptism (daughter of William).

I'll make some updates to the profile from this new source!
