Richard Wade's Wife Griselle Was Not a Dabney, maybe Clements or Coleman

The only reason Grissele the wife of Richard Wade (and mother of Lucy Wade) is thought to be a Dabney is because her son William and his wife ANNE CAWTHORN named their sons Dabney, Abinadab,and Jonadab. (See Below). But,ANNE CAWTHORN is the one with the Dabney connection. Her brother was named William DABNEY Cawthorn. Her father Christopher Cawthorne is thought to have married a Dabney (the name recurs among his descendents), at least one family researcher believes it is Sarah Dabney. ANN CAWTHORNE would have named her son after her mother's family. (Some genealogies on the Internet show the wife of Christopher Cawthorn to be an unknown Derbry -- probably due to an easy misreading of colonial handwriting). There is therefore no reason left to believe that Griselle is a Dabney.
So, who is Grissele the wife of Richard and the mother of Lucy Wade. I don't have any idea who the father is, but I believe the mother is Elizabeth Clements b. abt. 1677. Elizabeth is the daughter of Benjamin Clements c 1655 - c 1712 and Grizille (various sp.) Coleman. Benjamine and Grizelle lived in Glouchester VA. They named two of their daughters Griselle (the first died in infancy) Of their other children the ones most likely to be the mother of our Grissele is Elizabeth bap. Dec 1, 1678, although one of the twins Mary or Sarah is also possible. (bap. January 5, 1683/4). Griselle might also be Coleman it being a common first name for them.
