    link Samuel Winsley married on 7 Feb 1625/6 in Knodishall, Suffolk, England as his first wife Frances Elmy and their first three children were baptized in nearby Saxmundham parish:
    Samuel bp 19 Nov 1626
    Nathaniel bp 3 Mar 1627/8
    Deborah bp 26 Dec 1629
    Elizabeth ___ would have been his second wife (married after his arrival about 6 Sep 1638) and certainly mother of the two younger children Ephraim b 1641 and Elisha b 1646 born in Salisbury. She died 2 Jun 1649. Samuel married a third wife Anne (Dalton) (Rewse) Boad, widow of Henry Boad of Well, Maine in Salem, MA 5 Oct 1657. Ann was born in Cambridgeshire about 1588, Anne was the daughter of Michael Dalton and Frances Thornton. Anne was christened 21 May 1588 in Soham, Cambridgeshire, England.

    The author examines the registers of Aldeburgh, Suffolk, England and probate records and constructs the ancestry of the Winsley Family. Samuel Winsloe was baptized at Aldeburgh, Suffolk, England, on 24 January 1595/6. He was the son of Mark Wynslowe and Benyon [Benoni?] Sinyeare.

    [Note about 2nd wife Elizabeth _____: GMB p 1550 does not show that Humphry Ransdall had any children. And Philip Randall had no dau named Elizabeth.]

    Note the probate records on ancestry here are mixed with another file: link but the papers on American Ancestors here link are correct. And there is a transcription here link Also I recommend looking at the probate records of his son Samuel in 1667 because he didn't marry and speaks of many relatives giving clues that have not be examined closely.
