Notes:
Note: There is apparently some confusion regarding the mother of Frances Cotton. Below is a note from an Abell family genealogist. " The solution to the problem was presented by Thompson in his "The Genealogist" article. It is basically an argument by elimintation. I am a little fuzzy on the details (its been years), but if I recall correctly, the children of the firstwife were named in the will of her father, and the children of the third wife were named in her own will. Frances is named in neither of these, and thus is presumed to be daughter of the second wife, Mary Mainwaring. It is solid work."
Family/Spouse: George ABELL. George (son of Robert ABELL) was born about 1561 in Stapenhill, Derby, ENGLAND; died in Sep 1630; was buried on 13 Sep 1630 in Lockington, Leicestershire, ENGLAND. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
