I need to elaborate and make
this more clear…
I searched on Richard Dane
and I discovered a reference in The
New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol
LXXI, publ 1917 and had a
Eureka! moment.
Richard Dane is mentioned as being the brother-in-law in the will of
Henry Josline.
Also mentioned in his will are other siblings. Aha!
These Joslin’s (Joseline
or Josselyn) are the brothers and sisters of Ralph Josselyn,
also my relatives! Ralph Josselyn’s son Thomas immigrated to New England in 1635. Descendents of these same two families, the Joslin’s and the Dane’s, found and married each other about
250 years later.
Mary Joseline
married Richard Dane. Their children are
William, Richard, Mary, Sarah, and 2 others, one probably being Robert. They are mentioned in the Will of Henry Joseline, dated July 16, 1611.
St. Michaels
parish records show a receipt of rent paid in 1582 by son Robert Dane of a
parcel of Bores House, late Hylls and now
Bridges. He is one amongst many at this
site.
