    • Notes: 
    • Dorothy Crosby is said by some to be the daughter of Thomas Crosby and Jane Sotheron. This appears to be false as the children of Jane Sotheron are mentioned in her mother Constance's will dated 14 NOV 1622. Dorothy is not among the grandchildren mentioned. Evidence is needed to support this claim.
