Research Notes

Marriage location was given as "Lambourn Woodlands, Devonshire" but this place does not exist. Lambourn Woodlands is in Berkshire. Until the contradiction can be resolved, I have changed the place to England.

Before merge Coebourn-3 was linked to Marye Seimor (~1578 - ~1640) as his mother but it is very unlikely she would have a child at the age of 52.
