=====================

Mackenzie, "Colonial Families" Vol VI, p. 152 shows a marriage to Sarah Dandridge
Other sources show Dandridge b. 10/19/1647 in Essex Co., England. Additional marriages were to Jane Bray b. 8/23/1647 in England and to Dorothy Thorp in England

After Col. William Claiborne settled at his plantation, Roanoke, on the Pamunkey (ca1650) he became one of the leading men in the Colony and was named Secretary, and appointed by the King.

Col. William's wife, Elizabeth Boteler was the daughter of John Butler and Jane Elliott. They had two sons at least, William and Thomas Claiborne; two daughters, Jane Claiborne who married Thomas Brereton and Mary Claiborne who married 1st Edward Rice and after his death she married Robert Harris.

Clayton Torrance in his excellent article on the English Ancestry of William Claiborne wrote: "There is no evidence that the Honorable WilliamClaiborne (1600-1677/8) and his wife Elizabeth Butler had other children (at least who survived infancy or childhood) than William, Thomas, Leonard, John, and Jane). Also Mary married 1st Edward Rice and 2nd Col. Robert Harris, 167__.
