General Notes: Husband - Francis Lee

The first name in the baptismal record is hard to read and has not been transcribed by Find My Past. I make it out as Francis daughter of John Lee. Francis can be either a man or woman's name. Evidently the minister did not check to see which this was. The Family Search Center, also, read it that way, except mistranscribed the year as 1656. As births and deaths were so consistently reported for this family in the parish register, I have no reason to doubt that this is the same Francis who married Patience Hope. Although he would have been 45 at the time of the marriage, I note that Patience is described in the marriage record as a widow. I have not been able to determine whether Hope was her maiden or married name. Francis is described in the parish records as a carpenter.
