General
Edmund and Tamazine's first three children were probably born in Sudbury (Buckinghamshire) England. The parish register at Berkhamstead contains the record of the five other baptisms in that parish. Edmund's four youngest children were born in New England.
John was the father of Edmund's daughter-in-law and the husband of Edmund's neice. Edward's brother Henry married Thomasine's sister Elizabeth. Edward and Thomazine are considered to be "triple ancestors" since they had three children that are also ancestors.
