Comments: inboxrgh 18 September 2016 On my question to the William White Society / Article ( Captain John Vassal 11 ) on the birth of Anna Vassal who was married to John Jones - Notation of Characters http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jones-4316 http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Vassall-14 Reference for the following was the contact of the William White Society My reference is from the following Author - Page 15 (http://www.thepilgrimwilliamwhitesociety.org) TPWWS_News-2-2_website_edition.pdf In Adventures of Purse and Person, Virginia 1607 - 1624/5, Volume 3, Families R - Z, p 465. It lists the following as a daughter of Anna Russell (2nd wife) to John Vassall: "7. Anna, born 10 Jan. 1595/6, buried 24 July 1640, married John Jones, rector of St. Nicholas Acons, London, who died 14 May 1636 at Highgate, Middlesex". According to Adventures, Anna's fist daughter was named Judith, bap. 25 March 1582, which makes Anna her second daughter. I should add that the footnote for Anna, b. 10 Jan 1595/6 is the following: R, VA.Co. III, pp. 89, 335 - which stands for The Records of the Virginia Company of London (Washington, 1906-35), 4 v., ed. by Susan Myra Kingsbury. [1]
