    (-----) Shatswell died probably about 1606, leaving a widow Judith (-----) who died probably about 1612/3 … the approximate birthdates of the five children are John, ca. 1597/8; Margaret, ca. 1598/9; m. Matthew/Matthias Curwen; Theophilus, ca. 1699; Sybil, ca. 1601; and Mary, ca. 1605, married John Webster.

    ASSOCIATIONS: The problem of the relationships among the various Shatswell immigrants to New England has puzzled many very good genealogists, and for many years the best account has been that prepared by Walter Goodwin Davis in 1945 [Annis Spear Anc 157-62]. Quite recently, however, David A. Macdonald has unearthed a document which resolves most of the outstanding questions [NEHGR 150:181-90 (error for 180-89)]. The document in question, a chancery suit of 1627, shows that there were five Shatswell siblings: John, Theophilus, Margaret (who was already married to Matthew Curwen), Mary and Sibyl. The fate of Sibyl is not known, but the other four came to New England, Mary having married John Webster who settled in Ipswich. This leaves us without any demonstrated connection between this family and William Shatswell of Ipswich. William Sargent did not marry a Shatswell, and his connectio with Theophilus Shatswell must have come about in some other manner.
