Notes - He was a tailor of Holborn, styled both "gentleman" and "yeoman." He and his wife were indicted for recusancy and not attending church in 1626, 1627/28, 1629, 1631-33, and 1635. They emigrated to Maryland in 1635. His nuncupative will names his son-in-law, James Neale, and his "cousin" Robert Cole.
"Upon his return to England [James Neale] married Anne Gill, a gentlewoman, the daughter and heiress of Benjamin Gill, Gent., who had come to the Province about the same time as he, or about 1641. Benjamin Gill was a business partner of John Pile, of Sarum, but somehow his family remained in Europe and none of them joined him in Maryland. He died in 1658, whereupon Robert Cole, Gent., who had come from Middlesex, declared himself as his nearest of kin in the Province." [The Maryland Semmes and Kindred Families, citation details below]
