     Frances Griffith married Matthew Boynton circa 27 September 1613
; date of settlement.¹
     Frances Griffith mentioned with Henry Vaught Sr. and Catherine Whittenberger at Franklin Co., Tennessee, USA; Spurlin [1994:V:19]: "Henry Vaught was in Franklin Co., AL by 1810."²

; In trying to find documents on Margaret Zouche and Rhys etc I happened to fall on some more documents related to her descendent Frances Griffith who married Matthew Boynton.

It helped me add a few dates to these people, so I'll share what I found.

Frances Griffith married Matthew Boynton abt 27 Sep 1613
That was a date of a settlement or contract I found in A2A but I didn't copy it :( Sorry.

Frances was the dau of Sir Henry Griffith, Knt in 1603 and his wife Elizabeth Throckmorton

Sir Henry (1558-1620) "of Wichnore" [sic], "Staffordshire" son of Walter Griffith (d 1574) married 1583/4 Elizabeth Throckmorton dau of Thomas Throckmorton, Esq "of Morehall" (d 13 Mar 1614/5) and his wife Margaret Whorwood

Sir Henry's eldest son Walter died v.p. the second [or third?] son Sir Henry Griffith, Knt in 1627 was born in 1603 and I believe was the inheritor of Burton Agnes when his father died in 1620. This son apparently died without issue as next heir was the son of his sister Frances who had married Matthew Boynton.

Margaret Whorwood was the dau of William Whorwood and his wife Margaret Brooke. This Margaret Brooke died 1589 "aged 80" and was the dau of "Richard Brooke, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer" (Does anyone have dates on this Richard ?)

After Margaret Brooke's first husband died (date unknown to me) she married William Sheldon of Beoley, eldest son of Ralph Sheldon "Esq of Aberton" (or also called of Beoley) and his wife Philippa Heath dau of Baldwin.

This William Sheldon had first been married with Mary Willington dau of William Willington, Esq of Warwick "of Barcheston" and his wife Anne Middlemore" Mary Willington died 25 Jan 1553.

It's interesting that William Sheldon and Margaret Brooke could not have married before 1553 and Margaret was then 44/5 and yet they had another child (per the Visitations of Worcester, 1569, online at www.ancestry.com, British subscriptions).

I would appreciate any comments, esp anything useful for pinning more exact dates on the Willington family.

     Rev. Lewis Craig was the most influential of the preaching Craig brothers. They were pioneer Baptist ministers in early Virginia, when preaching without the license of the Church of Virginia was illegal, and Craig and his brothers were occassionally jailed. Lewis is most famous as the leader of "The Travelling Church," when he and much of his Upper Spotsylvania Church congregation made up the largest mass-immigration into frontier Kentucky -- a caravan of some 600 people. He settled at Gilbert's Creek in Garrard County, Kentucky, then moved to South Elkhorn in Fayette County, and finally he settled in Mason County, where he died. His grave remained unmarked for many years but Kentucky Baptists finally succeeded in marking his grave, though there is some reason to believe they may have marked the wrong grave. He appears to be buried in an enclosure with that of the wife of his son, Lewis Craig Jr. (bio by: Bill Davis)
