END-OF-LINE ANCESTOR

Below is a verbatim excerpt from Donald Lines Jacobus, Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists, “The Brownson, Bronson, or Brunson Family of Earl’s Colne, Essex, England…,” The American Genealogist, Volume 38 (1962): 197:

"Roger Brownson… married first, at Lamarsh Essex, 12 May 1600, Mary Underwood, baptized at Lamarsh 2 Feb. 1585/6 [correction published 2 Feb. 1575], buried at Earls’ Colne 18 March 1622/3, having perhaps died at the birth of her daughter Mary. Mary Underwood was a daughter of John Underwood of Lamarsh, of whom no more is at present known.”

Mary Underwood, later wife of Brownson, was baptised at Lamarsh 2 Feb. 1575/6. … she was, therefore, 24, not 14, at the time of her marriage, 12 May 1600!
