Another plausable answer: In another part of Hotten. It states "On page 256, " ? Wethersbie Burried at Elizabeth Cittie 1624." Now this may have been Dorothie. Then it may be plausible that sometime after Albiano showed up as head of household in 1626 that she married Bartholemew. This family has been nothing but confusing mystery.
