Individual Details

Is this Anna?

There is no documentary proof that Richard Guild & Margery Jordan were Anna's parents. It is CONJECTURE -
Ann was probably sister of John and Samuel. Study of English records does not confirm,, could be a younger sister, rather than an older one; or possibly a cousin, dau. of William who was bap. 21 Sep 1595 in Redisham. NOT named in will of Margery (Jordan) Gilde in 1629. Nor was she baptised at the same time and Parish as James, John and Samuel, sons of Richard Guile and Margery Jordan.
However, an Ann Guill is listed as arriving with John and Samuel and as their sister:
Arrival in Dedham, MA about 1636, John Guill, brother, Samuel, age 16; sister, Ann, age 20.
From The Quiet Adventurers in North America,, by Marion G. Turk

Boyd's Index shows marriage 1607 Richard Gild and Margery Jordan married at Wilby, Suffolk Co. England. [They have been assumed by many to be Anna's parents}
Parish Records of Ilketshall St. Margaret, Suffolk, show baptisms of John, Samuel and James.
30 Nov 1609 John, son of Richard Gilde, baptised
26 Dec 1610 James, son of Richard Gilde, baptised
19 Jan 1613 Samewell, son of Richard Gild, baptised [Note that this Samuel's baptism was three years prior to the age of the Samuel on the above ship's passenger list which does raise the question regarding the parents of the three siblings on the passenger list. Perhaps this Samuel died and a second one was born three years later? Possibly but conjecture.]

Margery (Jordan) Guild's will of 1629 did not name a daughter, nor her son James - only two sons, John and Samuel.
