Notes:

Her father ran a secret printing press from home

The parents supplied by notes to the CRS volume are certainly incorrect. There would have been an age gap of almost thirty years with one of those alleged to be her sisters. Unfortunately, showing who her true parents were is not currently possible. The pedigree given by Foley of the main branches of this family is inconsistent and contradictory. KKR.

The manuscript profession book gives the date of her death as 14 Jul 1659 and her age at death 52.
