Misc. Notes
Letters of administration issued on her estate on November 7, 1694, describe her as "late of Newton [Bromswold], alias Higham Ferrers, County Northampton, but at Virginia deceased." This may imply that she had returned to England after her husband's death, and that she died while on a visit to Virginia.
