    Notes 
    • (Research):For information about Judith's ancestors (particularly her mother's side) see "The Genealogy of the Family of Cole: Of the County of Devon, and of Those of its Branches which settled in ..." (readable on Google books) - n.b. I have not tried to assess the reliability of this book; I expect it is variable - a useful source of clues to check, not something to be trusted without checking)

      Tree on FamilySearch
      I have looked at the wills of Judith's brother Walter (1633), brother-in-law Hugh Lear (1603) and an Honor Fursland of Bickington (1640); none contains any mention of Judith or her descendants.
