Ancestry of Elizabeth Uredge (1595-1632)

 One of the advantages of having any early American ancestry is that sometimes a new generation is delivered seemingly out of the blue to my door! I love surprises like that!!

The latest issue of The American Genealogist has given me 2 more generations in the ancestry of Elizabeth Uredge, who married John Stanley 14 Oct 1623 in Benenden, Kent, England [1]. Elizabeth and John are some of the 9th great-grandparents from my maternal grandfather's lines.  

An earlier TAG article on Anna Uredge & husband Stephen Vinall included conjectures about the Uredge line [2]. The present article confirms new 10th and 11th greats for me and adds a new surname: Kerwin.  Please see both articles for full discussions, hesitations, children's names, and extractions/transcriptions from newly found and interpreted primary sources.  Masterful research!


The son, John, at the bottom of my chart, is commonly referred to as "Capt. John Stanley."
