• Notes

  McArthur-Barnes Ancestral Lines and Clifford L. Stott's article "The Chaplin Family of Co. Suffolk" (citation details below) both state that he was baptized at Hitcham, Suffolk on 13 Feb 1615, but Randy A. West ("Alice Freeman", etc., citation details below) points out that the same child is recorded in that parish register as being buried 25 Feb 1616. Thomas Parke = Dorothy Thompson Robert Parke = Mary Rose Margaret Parke = Benjamin Rockwell Margaret Rockwell = Josiah Blodgett, Jr. Hannah Blodgett = David Burroughs Tyler Burroughs = Anna Pratt Abner Tyler Burroughs = Mary Rice George Tyler Burroughs = Mary Evaline Zieger Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) (Thus, ERB is a seventh cousin twice removed to TSW.)
