  • Notes 
    • According to "English Origins of New England Families" CD #181:

      "Ralph Josselyn of Roxwell, yeoman, the testator of 1626, b. probably at Chignal-Smealy, about 1556, was buried at Roxwell, 19 Mar. 1631/2. He married first, at Roxwell, 21 May 1583, Mary Bright; and secondly Dorothy ___, who survived him and was buried at Roxwell, 16 Oct. 1634. Lack of evidence makes it impossible to determine which wife was the mother of each child."
