Misinformation

As with her possible husband, Richard of Amesbury, incorrect information has been associated with her. In reality, nothing but her marriage information is known. See Zubrinsky's article at http://members.cox.net/jrcrin001/RichardA-Amesbury.pdf for further discussion.

   'At Newton Tony on 7 August 1603, a Richard Carpenter married Alice Knight ...(There is no support for the claim that this Alice Knight was the one baptized at South Bersted, Sussex, on 8 October 1583, daughter of Thomas and Katherine (______) Knight ...)

2. ↑ Birth year estimated based on marriage year, assuming that this was her first marriage and that she was 20 when married. As of 2010, there is no evidence that she was the wife of Richard Amesbury, father of William - thus, it is not certain that this was her first marriage.
