unknown wife of Thomas Endicott

Ted Sanford writes (May 2015): "Much has happened since 2013 and I have been in the process of updating all of my works. First, Governor John Endecott was born at Middlecott Manor in 1588, We do not know what her name was but she died bearing John. Her husband, Thomas Endecott, was able to raise his son with the assistance of his uncle, William endecott (1543-1630) and his new bride, Anne Ellis, who, effectively was John's "mother" throughout his youth. She also soon had two children of her own, Jane (1590_ and Henry (1591). The three children were brought up like brothers and sister. This new finding comes from detailed research of the Church Wardens' Accounts of St. Michaels Church, Chagford, for the years 1480-1600. It shows that Thomas Endecott bought a funeral shrould for his wife in 1588."
