- From KFHS CD 25 - entry no. 904: 1685 19 Aug Thomas GRIGSBY of Marden TO Silvester GRINSTED otp
Thomas's will shows that he had 2 more children whose baptisms I am not currently aware of, a son Edward and a daughter Elizabeth (married surname Maxted).
Edward is listed 3rd of the 4 sons still living, suggesting he was born after William but before Guy. He could therefore be a son of Thomas with his 3rd wife Sylvester or his 4th, Anne. Similarly, Elizabeth was the last of his 4 surviving daughters mentioned, suggesting she was born after Sylvester, and so could also be the daughter of Sylvester or of Anne.
