    Margaret Prince, (Hugh's mother-in-law by his second wife) was arrested 3 September 1692. Her daughter, Mary Rowe (Hugh's second wife) and Rachel Vinson (Hugh's mother-in-law by his first wife), were arrested sometime between 13 September and 3 November. Abigail Rowe (Hugh and Mary's 15 year old daughter) was arrested on November 3rd. All four, along with six other women from Gloucester, were eventually released without trial.

  8. ↑ The source for Hugh's date of birth seems to be Tingley's undocumented opus. Much of Tingley's work can be verified by reference to original documents, but it also contains some serious errors where original documents do not exist or have not been found. Without documentation, Hugh's birth date appears to be an estimate based on the date of his first marriage and should be treated with caution.
