• Notes

  From "The Poulter Family of Rayleigh, Essex, England , and Billerica, MA" Delorey, NEHGR V141 1987: "John Poulter wa b. perhaps about 1595 and died at Rayliegh, co. Essex, England, between 18 March 1638/9, when he made his will, and 30 May 1639, when it was proved. He married probably about 1630 Mary (possibly Pope). Although John in his will named (in addition to his own mother) his mother-in-law, Marie Pope, there is no proof that his wife was Marie's daughter by he current husband, and supporting evidence to identify Mary as a Pope has not been found. Mary was born probably about 1596 and died at Chelmsford, Mass., 8 February 1692/3." "The will of John Poulter of Rayleigh, co. Essex, yeoman, 18 March 1638/9.
