   'ROGER CONEY ... married about 1545. At the time of his death, his wife was named Margaret, but she was probably a second wife and mother only of the youngest child, William.'
   
   'Margaret, b. prob. abt. 1550, living in 1556 and 1572.'
   
   Margaret is mentioned in her father's 1572 will. Her father's wife Margaret and her heirs are also mentioned, which explains the supposition that she was his second wife.
