Narrative

In an article by David A. Macdonald titled "A new look at theCorwin and Shatswell Families" in the Register (NEHGR) 150:180(Apr 1996).Discusses a Chancery court proceeding in 1627 against theadministrator of the estate of widow Judith Shatswell ofSibbertoft, Northhamptonshire, England, who had died more than adecade earlier. The document indicates that widow JudithShatswell was the mother of these children:John, b. c1597Margaret, b. c1598, m. Matthew CurwenTheophilusSibyl, b. c1601Mary, b. c1605Macdonald thinks that Theophilus was born between Margaret andSibyl because of the order of their mention in the suit, andthinks the age given in the suit is wrong. The age would makehim born c1608.There is no mention of a William Shatswell, although there isreference to "two of ye uncles and neere kinsemen".So it looks like we can say that Mary (Shatswell) (Webster)Emery was from Sibbertoft, and her mother was named Judith. fromRobert Shaw (shaw_robert@tandem.com)Estate of John Satchwell of Ipswichffebruary 11th 1646.
