Mary Dale

There is a record that "an" Edward Dale married one Mary Somerset. But whether that was Rev. Edward Dale of Legsby, and exactly who this "Mary Somerset" was, we do not know. She is said by some to have been a daughter, possibly extramarital, of Henry Somerset, 2nd earl of Worcester Henry Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester. ("A Who's Who of Tudor Women" takes the whole thing on faith, but fails to realize that there is no room for another generation before Sir Thomas Dale. http://www.tudorwomen.com/?page_id=707 )

It should be noted that anyone with ancestors from Somersetshire might take the surname "Somerset".
