Research Notes

  • The sources I have reviewed tend to agree that John Mathew married both Katherine Kemeys and his cousin, Unnamed Fleming (d/o Thomas Fleming), but they do not agree as to which wife was the mother of his child(ren) and whether or not daughter "Janet/Jennet" was the sole heiress. More research is needed. --Cos1776 14:00, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
