John Rotherham of Dronfield, Derbyshire (b 1617, d 06.05.1696)
m. Helen (b 1619, d 07.04.1698)
1. John Rotherham of Dronfield (b 1645, d 25.09.1720)
  Hunter identifies John's wife as Elizabeth Hancock (b 1677, d 20.03.1722) which is somewhat inconsistent with his also showing that they had at least 3 children born before 1677! Hunter later mentions, by note, an Elizabeth (bpt 11.07.1677, m. John Uppleby, not mentioned in the main pedigree) who was 2nd dau of John Rotherham of Duffield by Helen, dau/heir of Ralph Hancock of Dronfield. That appears to correct the entry given in the main pedigree to what is shown below.
