Not listed in "Mr Henshaw's pedigree, a'o 1701".
[Note: His will was written in 1688 and apparently was not updated, which precedes the date of birth, so naturally she is not named there, but neither is she named in deeds selling his real estate after his death. Savage wonders if the birth record may be an error.]
