• Notes

  - ** See marriage notes for list of children ** - ** See Misc Docs Pics/Croshaw/Burke's Landed Gentry ** - ** See Misc-Docs-Pics/Croshaw/Twelve Trails West ** - her parents had apparently come from Kibley in Chesire (??) - her father Joseph was Major and her grandfather was a Captain, both in the English military. Their story is in Chapter 56 - (?did not find a Chapter 56?) - married Ralph Graves, offspring of Thomas Graves, a fellow passenger of Raleigh Croshaw in 1608 voyage to VA, and they had five children (?)
