I have found no one who does know anything more about her. By naming pattern of their children, her father's name should be William, but some people have suspected it was Thomas. It may be that she did not know herself (perhaps she was an orphan?) because the third boy has her maiden name as a first name. I have almost more information on the Almons (back to about 1705 and I have not pursued it beyond that date as yet) than anyone could reasonably want. If you would like information about her siblings and their descendants, the siblings of her father and their descendants, e-mail me at maggi59@msn.com and we can talk about what info you would like to have.
