Research Notes

Locations:

Birth given as "Northumberland, Kent, England" and "Kent, Northumberlandshire". Kent and Northumberland are nowhere near each other.^[2] Perhaps Northumberland County, Virginia was meant, but they supposedly married before immigrating to America.

Death given as both Isle of Wight County and Surry County. In 1682, both counties existed, and are adjacent:

• Isle of Wight County - name changed from Warrosquyoake County in 1637^[3]
• Surry County - formed in 1652 from James City County^[3] (one of the four original incorporations and, in 1634, became one of the eight original counties)^[4]
