Wilma, Thanks so much for this info. It brings up a few more questions though. John married a Boyles and then a Clarke... which would be the mother of Elizabeth? She married in 1641, long before her last brother & sister were born. Seems there may be two sets of kids. And is the 1642 date below when John married F. Clarke or when she joined the Church? ( I have a hard time with some of these abbreviations.) And at the bottom, which of these dates is his death date? I'm also looking for a copy of the letter on Moral Laws. Maybe a will? Thanks again for all the help you have given to everyone. > So... your Elizabeth was the d/o Rev John RAYNOR . > This is what Pope says of Rev.
