2563 Elizabeth Unknown. Elizabeth died in Mar 1598 in Coney Weston, Suffolk, England.131 Buried on 29 Mar 1598 in Coney Weston, Suffolk, England.131

Buried as Elizabeth Wright alias Moer, widow, which suggests that between 1592 and 1598 she marrieda man named Mower, Moer, or Moore. She left a will dated March 1598 and recorded in the Archdeaconry Court of Sudbury, and naming her daughter Elizabeth, wife of Robert Hardheal, and “Rose ux [wife of] Eustaci Gates”; sons Andrew and William; and “Thomas Gates the sonne of Rose her daughter.”131

2574 James Wolfenden.275, pg 21 Born ca 1563.384, p. 101 James died in Little Whelnetham, Suffolk, England, in 1624; he was 61.384, p. 102 Occupation: Clergyman.384

He “was probably from the Rochdale district in Lancashire or perhaps from a neighboring part of Yorkshire.

James ‘Wolfendale’ matriculated pensioner from St. John’s College, Cambridge, in Lent 1577-88, B.A. 1580-81, M.A.1584, ordained priest at Norwich on 16 May 1583, was admitted as rector of Little Whelnetham on 29 February 1587[/8], and remained there the rest of his life.”384, p. 101

His will [of “James Wolfendewe”] was dated 21 April 1624 and was proved on 5 November 1624. Besides his wife, he mentions his sons James and Robert, and daughters Abigall Snow, Marye Wolffendew, Margrett Wolffendewe, and Ann Wolffendewe.

2580 William Parmenter.215, p. 271,4 Born ca 1563.214, p. 380,215, p. 270 At the age of <1, William was baptized in Ovington, Essex, England, on 7 Jan 1563.214, pg 380 William died in Little Yeldham, Essex, England, in 1617; he was 54. Buried on 4 Dec 1617 in Little Yeldham, Essex, England.215, pg 271 Occupation: Husbandman.

His will was dated 12 October 1613 and proved 19 January 1617/18. Only two of his children were baptized at Little Yeldham, so he likely resided elsewhere for a while. Perhaps he was the William Parmenter assessed in the tax subsidy of 1596-97 in the adjacent parish of Sible Hedingham (birth registers from there prior to 1680 are lost).

Left to his wife Margery for life was his messuage [house and land] and tenement called Tankerton, to go to his son Robert after her death, who would also pay £5 to Robert’s brother John one year after Margery’s death (or John’s children if he had died). Also to his wife went some land called Cowell alias Gowldwells, which after her death was to be sold by his brother Robert, and the resulting money distributed equally to William’s children George, Ursely, Sara, and Margaret (whoever is alive). Son Robert was to pay grandson John, son of John Parmenter, 6s. 8d. [=1 Noble - medieval gold coin] at age 21, likewise to Mary, John’s daughter. Various pieces of furniture to his children after his wife’s decease.215, p. 264

At the age of <1, Edward was baptized in Glemsford, Suffolk, England, on 13 Mar 1561.378, p. 134 1560/61. Edward died in Stanstead, Suffolk, England, in 1616; he was 55.

Somewhere I recall seeing a reference that said marriage was in the seventh month, which would be September under the calendar at that time; can’t recall the reference.

2587 Thomasine Belgrave. Born ca 1561. Ancestral file (Ancestral File number: 84SN-6S) says born 11 Aug 1560, Stanstead, Suffolk, England; probably more likely born in Leverington. At the age of 1, Thomasine was baptized in Leverington, Cambridge, England, on 1 Feb 1562.378, p. 134,379, p. 165 1561/62. Thomasine died in Sudbury, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, on 13 Jun 1653; she was 92.4, Ancestral File number: 84SN-6S Buried in Jun 1653 in Sudbury, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts.4, Ancestral File number: 84SN-6S

There is no death record in the Sudbury vital records for Thomasine Frost. She may have remarried and traveled to New England with a new spouse, but it seems unlikely that she would have emigrated as an older widow. The Ancestral File record seems highly suspect.
