The 1623 will of Jane Jefferie, widow of Pemburie, Kent, names "my daughter Francis the now wife of John Gouldstone" first among her children. Jane subsequently names several children and grandchildren from her two marriages, the first to Roger Thompson and the second to John Jefferie.[1]
For many years Francis was assumed to be Jane's daughter by John Jefferie, and most accounts of the family omitted Roger Thompson entirely. The wording of the will, however, is more consistent with her being the eldest child and a daughter of Roger Thompson.
Francis married first John Goldstone. The 1637 will of Robert Goldston names her as "Frances my loving mother, now the wife of Thomas Dyker of Tonbridge, taylor."[2] She remarried by 1634, when as Francis Dyker she witnessed her daughter's will.
Francis likely was born, married, died, and was buried in the area of Pemburie and Tonbridge in Kent, but none of her vital records and no will of hers has been found.

Find A Grave: Memorial #116222997 for Frances Dyker contains an excerpt from an unpublished manuscript by John Brooks Threlfall (author of Fifty Great Migration Colonists). Per the memorial manager, "The information for Jane's bio was from the genealogy files of John Threlfall. I happened on Mr. Threlfall back in the 80s, when I first started doing genealogy. At that time, if you contacted him with a question, he would copy his pages and mail them to you."

 Cheryl HammondRobert uses "Frances" and "Francys" in his will (both times referring to his mother). Jane, her mother, spells it "Francis" multiple times throughout her will. Spelling was generally not consistent in written English until very recent times. Finally, the "Francis/masculine//Frances/feminine" convention is a completely modern invention which was not observed during the lifetime of this person.posted Mar 03, 2018 by Cheryl HammondMichael StaffordDid she really die on about the very same day as her husband?
