    • From article about John Bigge

      When Sybilla married John Bigge he had already had 6 children, but 4 had already died, and so she became step-mother to just two, John aged 7, and Samuell, aged 3. Sadly neither of these made it to adulthood, either, dying aged 10 and 9 respectively.

      I don't yet know what happened to Sybilla, whether or not she remarried. Aged about 46 when John Bigge died, it is unlikely if she did remarry that she had any children.
