Notes |
- "Margaret was the daughter of John Penn, mercer of London, who names his wife Alice, sons John, Thomas, and Ralph, and daughters Alice and Margaret in his 1450 will. He also mentions Thomas Fereby, brother of his wife. Several documents demonstrate that Alice (Fereby) (Penn) (Brayne) Newbury was the mother of Ralph Penn. The 1454 will of Alice's father, John Fereby of Paul's Cray, names his son Thomas, his wife Alice, and John and Alice, son and daughter of John Penn. If John and Alice were Penn's oldest son and daughter, as the order of the bequests in Penn's will suggests, Penn's wife Alice, who survived her husband, must have been the mother of all of his children."
