Obviously something got missed in the translation or I had mistakenly listed the
children of William Marshall as those of Thomas Hebden. As you have noted from
the will of William Marshall, he had sons named Joshua and William.

The will of Thomas Hebden only named his wife, Catherine. However, as you'll
note when he named his Executors, one was Francis Wine who he called brother.
Specifically, from what you sent "Exs.: Thos. Notely, Robert Henley and brother
Francis Wyne".

My notes state that I'm not 100% sure if Elizabeth was a daughter of Thomas
Hebden and that further proof is needed.

Perhaps you could reconstruct the research you had originally done and perhaps
this family could be put together properly, no matter who's right and who's
wrong which is irrelevant to the issue at hand.
