Nicholas I died 19 Dec 1678 (NHM, p.38)
The Second Generation. Heath properly cited documentation establishing the existence of NiI's six children [P2]: (1) Events related to son William's death provide proof that NiII, William, and Elizabeth were siblings and she was alive and married to Capt. Fra. Clements on 21 Apr 1695 (NHM, pp.41-42-verified; Haun V, p.57) [P2]. (2) About 13 years later, Thomas's will dated 7 Jan 1708/9 identified his sib lings as NiII, New Kent Co.; Francis, Essex Co.; and Jane, wife of Wm. Browne of Surry Co. (NHM, p.45; Dorman, Essex, D&W, 1707-11, 1963, pp.47-48 & 50-verified) [P2]. (3) Corroborating evidence is found in Henry Hartwell's 3 Jul 1699 will, provided by Monte Monroe, in which Nicholas, Francis, Thomas, and Jane were identified (Waters, p.313-not verified) [P1]. Heath acknowledged his lack of evidence establishing the order of birth of NiI's children.
