| A. | Thomas Faunce, Mayor of Rochester (a 1588, d 1642/3) | ||||||||||||||
| BLG1886 identifies Thomas's wife as Martha, dau of J. Baynard of Shorne, and reports that he had 2 sons - Robert (father of Sir Robert & Thomas) and Thomas - implying but not specifying that Martha was their mother. BLG1886 reports that the son Thomas went to America in 1640, died in New Plymouth aged 90, and is remembered there by a monument which identifies him as "the last Elder having authority". However, a web site on the Pilgrim Fathers appears to suggest that that Thomas (b 1647) "was the son of John Faunce who came to Plymouth in 1623 in the Anne." Noting the reference below to a Martha Baynard of Shorne, we provisionally follow RW in showing Thomas's wife and heir as ... | |||||||||||||||

| (1) Identified by BLG1886 as the elder (eldest) son but the dates provided by RW, including his father's date of death, make it seem likely that he was the youngest. (2) RW shows a possible marriage to an Elizabeth Halke (d 1661) as well as Elizabeth Head (d 1662) but we suspect that this was just a spelling anomaly. |
