    Deed from "Ralph Josselin senior of Roxwell in Co. Essex" [Thomas' father] et al., "after the decease of me ... to ... Thomas Josselin[,] one of the sons of me the aforesaid Ralph Josselin the elder, and Rebecca Jude ... after the decease of the said Thomas and Rebecca ... to the use of the heirs of the bodies of the same Thomas and Rebecca ...". This deed gives the maiden name of Thomas's wife. Other evidence given shows Thomas, the son of Ralph, is the emigrant Thomas.
    [Note: this article reasonably infers a marriage based on a strange indenture executed when both parties were not married. But it should be noted that there is no actual proof of marriage, nor are the parents of Rebecca identified to confirm her maiden name. Nor does the article appear to document the disposal of this property.]
