Anne and Emanuel Downing married in 1614. Anne died in 1621 leaving the following children Mary, James and Susan. When John Winthrop sailed for America in 1630 he took James Downing with him, but I don't know what happened to James. Maybe someone on the Ware message board could help with your search.
