There was extensive theory that Grace Makin was wife of John Sherman, Thomas Rogers and Roger Porter, but the Makin piece in TAG 61 cited below provided convincing proof that Grace, one time wife of John Sherman, was not Grace Makin because Grace Makin was Grace Sherman in 1621 while Grace, one time wife of John Sherman, was wife of Thomas Rogers by 1617.

"MAKIN, GRACE b. say 1585; m. bef. 1610 ----- Sherman (prob. an Edmund Sherman, of an unknown place but in all likelihood a member of the Dedham, co. Essex, Sherman family and father of the Richard Sherman mentioned in Tobias Makin's will). Because she was still a Sherman in 1621, she could not be (emphasis added) the Grace who m. (1) John Sherman, (2) Thomas Rogers by 1617 (when a child was baptized), and (3) Roger Porter."[2]
