Notes:

Anecdote:
Anderson is fairly confident that this is the father of the Margaret that William Hunting married. The evidence includes the fact that a William Hunting married a Margaret Randolfe at Topcroft in Norfolk and 27 September 1599 and the parish register lists no children. They could have moved back to Palgrave. Also, in William "Randoll"'s will dated May 12, 1607 and proved January 7, 1608/9, according to Anderson:
[William] bequeathed £5 to "Margaret my daughter," a sum to be paid by his son William.
