Subject: [MDSTMARY-L] SEWELL / HEAD WILLS

Hello List,
Could someone put me straight on the relationships mentioned below?

>From my research this is the way I understand it:

Cuthbert Sewell mentions sisters Mary Sewell that married Leonard
Green, Elizabeth Sewell married Frances Herbert.

But......from more research I find that

Adam Head is his step-father, and Priscilla Head is the daughter of
Adam Head and Ann Head (see 2nd will below). Notice Ann is not
mentioned in Cuthbert's will.
But in Ann's will she calls Elizabeth Herbert and Priscilla Head
daughters.

So I conclude the following:

Ann ____ m/1st Sewell and had, Cuthbert Sewell, Elizabeth Sewell m
Frances Herbert, Mary Sewell m Leonard Green, Grace Brooke (mentioned
could also be a Sewell, as she is holding some of Cuthbert's
personalty) Grace m/1st John Boone, and m/2 Robert Brooke.

Ann _____m/1st Sewell, m/2nd Adam Head and had Prissilla Head, some
researchers say Grace Brooke could also be a Head.

Also notice in Ann's will, she's leaving Adam land called
"Provention". Possibly she was left this thru her Sewell husband?

I hope I'm not confusing anyone. And someone can fill in the blanks.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
