A collection of historical and genalogical records
William's children
The following has been contributed:
My ancestor William b 1610 who m Anne Motley/Matlatt. I have some new data that may be of interest to you. The material was actually published on The American Genealogist (TAG) in 1999 in an article on the English ancestry of Anne Motley of Ringstead written by Leslie Mahler. Mr Mahler discovered no birth date for William or a marriage for Anne and William but there is quite specific material on the 6 children they had. The date of their marriage is a bit earlier (abt 1635) based on the probable bp of their first child, Anne, on June 12 1636 at St Mary Bothaw, London. Mr Mahler says no name for the mother is given, unlike the two following children who were bp at St Mary Whitechapel, London. He puts this Anne as probable daughter b to Willia(m) Dowglasse.
The next child is Elizabeth bp Nov 19 1637 and buried (Dowglasse)March 12 1639/40, da of William and Anne Dowglas. The next child is Robert bp March 6 1638/9, son of William and Anne Dowglasse. In 1640 the family came to America and Elizabeth (2)was b Aug 26 1641, bp Boston March 8 1646/7. Next was Sarah b April 8 1643, bp Boston March 8 1646/7, and last was William b April 1 1645 in Boston, bp Boston March 8 1646/7. Since we think Anne Motley Douglas was bp in Denford (next to Ringstead) Sept 20 1601 she was almost 45 when she had William (although there is the possibility that another daughter named Anne was born to Thomas Motley and his wife after 1601 and before 1606 when their next child, Thomas, was born - Denford and Ringstead records are spotty in this early period). Assuming William Douglas was b 1609, Anne was 5 or 8 years older than him. Or our dates for William are all off. I have found a number of Douglases in Northants from the mid 1500's to the mid 1600's (on FreeReg) but it remains to discover if William was part of one of these families. There is no William who fits yet, nor a Robert either.
