Birth? Est 1585 probably Marden, Wiltshire, England

Edith is listed as the first daughter (after the males are listed). She is not listed as married in her Father's will. Gene Zubrinsky estimates that she is probably less than age 21. Age 21 results in a birth about 1585. This is mid-range between the estimated birth years of Robert and John.

    'Robert's will, dated 12 January 1606[/7?] and proved 21 May 1607, names sons William, Robert, John, and Charles, daughters Edith and Alice, brother Richard, "my sonnes childe Will[ia]m," and (as co-executors and principal legatees) son Richard and wife Elinor. Neither the will nor any other known record indicates which, if any, of Robert's children he fathered with Elinor.'
