Jansen, J. Bradley. "Who was the first wife of Rev. James Clayland?" Chesapeake Cousins, Vol. 46, Number 1, Fall 2019. < PDF > PDF page 4-7, article page i-4. "An honest examination of the original and early sources leads us to the inescapable conclusion that James Clayland’s first wife, and the mother of Judith Clayland, was a daughter of William and Judith Hemsley and that that daughter had to be Penelope Hemsley, their oldest child."
