As there is a gap of at least seven years between the births of James and Thomas, there may have been other children who died vita patris. Children: [8]
i. Mary, b. ca. 1565, aet. 49+ in 1614, obviously not born before summer of 1565 as her parents married Nov. 12, 1564. She wrongly appears as seventh child in the 1623 pedigree. Before May 7, 1595, she m. Thomas Barneham (d. ca. 1614), eldest child of Thomas Barneham (d. ca. April 1, 1576) by wife Alice Cressey of London; grandson of Francis Barneham, Sheriff of London, by wife Alice Bradbridge; great-grandson of Stephen Barneham of Southwick, co. Southampton (see Harleian Society 42:168 f.; 54:8; 64:150; The Ancestor 9:191-209, and an article in preparation by John Insley Coddington). At an inquest post mortem (vol. 412, no. 9, 17 Feb. [11], James I-1613/14), held at Stratford Langthorne [co. Essex] before William Smyth [her brother-in-law?], "Mary Barnham, widow, lunatic, enjoys lucid intervals, say Geoffrey Thurgad[?], William Pullyn, Tobias Dixon [later her niece's husband], John Silvester, Wm. Feake, etc. She is incapable of managing her lands. Fifteen years ago she was capax eruditionis. William Feake is her brother and next heir, and she is aet. 49 and more." She was still living in 1619 and still a lunatic when her mother made her will. Her only child Isaac was baptised at St. Botolph's Bishopsgate, Nov. 19, 1595, but died before 1614.
ii. William, b. ca. 1566. As the bequests he receives in the wills of his parents are relatively small, though of course of much greater purchasing power then than now, and are not capital funds but annuities to be paid periodically by others, it seems possible that William was regarded as not quite competent to manage his own affairs. Delafield, however, discovered that he was Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths in 1621, which does not suggest incompetence. Sir Ambrose Heal (op. cit.) lists a William who could be this man as goldsmith in 1632 and says there is a will probated in i666. This we have not found but, if authentic, it may be that of another William (no. 67). Our man was already married on May 7, 1595, to a wife Mary. Both were living in 1619, and are marked "s.p." but not "d.s.p." in the 1623 pedigree.
iii. James, b. ca. 1567, aet. 34 on July 1, 1601; d. ca. 1625.
iv. Thomas, minor in 1595, b. after 1574; coelebs in the 1623 pedigree; matriculated pensioner from Trinity, at Cambridge, Easter 1589; scholar 1590; B.A. 1592/3, M.A. 1596.; by father's will was to be kept at the University until aet. 30; living 1619, no wife mentioned, in his mother's will.
v. John, second eldest of minor children in 1595.
vi. Edward, third eldest of minor children in 1595.
vii. Sarah, elder of minor daughters in 1595; by 1619 had m. William Smyth of London, mercer, who was probably man of that name before whom the inquest post mortem of Thomas Barnham was held in 1614. By 1619 this couple had a daughter Katherine.
viii. Rebecca, youngest child in 1595; shown, for reason not apparent, as eldest child in 1623 pedigree; by 1619 had m. William Bournford of London, grocer, and was then his widow with two sons Samuel and Henry."
