Joan Gray

Burial 1621 14 Feb St Mary the Virgin, Stapleford Tawney, Essex, England (sourced from original parish record)

From http://www.basilgray.com/ch6.htm

John and Elizabeth had nine children. Sadly their first three children died very young. Daughter Joan, born in 1606, died at age 14 in Stapleford. Son Richard, born in 1608, died at age 4 in Stapleford. Son Joshua, born in 1610, died in Stapleford at age 10. Perhaps this is first hand evidence of those “periodic epidemics” of the times. These children were all buried at Greensted Churchyard.
