research notes from Robert Sewell

Henry Sewell I actually had two sons named Henry. They were called Henry the Younger and Henry the Elder. Henry the Elder went on to obtain lands on the Severn and became known as Henry II or Henry of Severn. Not much is known about Henry the Younger. Some data seems to indicate he was sent overseas (England?) at the age of 10. Not much is known after that and there is no record he ever returned to the Colonies.

• Henry the younger was born in 1639.
• Anne was born in 1634.
• Henry the Elder / Henry II / Henry of the Severn was circa 1632
