Biography

Birth

Born: About 1611, presumably in Kettlebaston, co. Suffolk, England. ^{[1] [2]}

Date is estimated from the fact that she is the first named daughter and presumed eldest child in the will of her father. Since her sister Mary was born in 1613, she is given an estimated date of 1611.

Her baptism was not found at Kettlebaston where her siblings were baptized. It is very possible she was born elsewhere and her parents moved to the Kettlebaston parish afterwards.

Notes

She was living when her father made heron 21 July 1655. Otherwise, nothing is known of her.

She is not on the passenger list of the Frances with her parents. However, these lists are incomplete and it is still possible that she came with her parents in 1634. It is also possible that she came at a later time.
