Notes

No proven name for his wife ......Mary or Bishop.

Also no proof George was father of Nicholas. Could have been brothers or had no relationship. Nicholas died first. Best documentation for father son relationship is Nicholas was made a citizen due to being son of current inhabitant.

Need Will of Nicholas for possible reference of birth place.
