Disputed Associations

• Mary Slye (1635-1700), said born Hingham, Norfolk, England, 1635, was associated as the daughter of George Slye, but hardly seems to fit in his family and was disputed by WikiTree collaborators. This association is being severed in 2022. See the G2G, "Proposal to sever Mary Slye associations ...."
• Deborah Gardner was attached as the wife of George Slye, with no source discovered. She has been detached.

In June 1604, George Slye of Lapworth sued Nicholas Lea and John Coxe for damage and waste caused at the Manor of Rowington. It is probable that George Slye was steward of Rowington.^[1]
