Note

Anthony and Eleanor are listed as the parents on many christening records in Melchbourne. No records exist specifically linking Anthony to the house of John; however, no better family link could be found and thus it is very probable that he is the son of John. The names of his children and second wife are from that source as well as the christening records. The marriage date (after 1650 ?) for Elizabeth and Anthony was derived from the death date of Eleanor and the birth date of Susannah.
