 General Notes:
Another item in his will read, “I bequeath unto my second sonne Robert Abell onelie a Twentie shillings peece for his childs parte in regard of ye charges I have beene at in placeing him in a good trade in London wch hee hath made noe use of and since in furnishing him for newe England where I hope he now is.”
Thompson has built a substantial case for the identification of George Abell’s wife Frances Cotton, discussing the known relationships and concluding, “the only possible brotherly relationship between George Abell and George and Andrew Cotton of Combermere must arise from the marriage of their sister Frances to George Abell from Hemington. Moreover, Frances (Cotton) Abell must have been the mother of the children, for otherwise her brothers would have had no particular enthusiasm for the protection of their financial interests.”
George married Frances COTTON, daughter of Sir Richard COTTON and Mary MAINWARING, on 1 May 1599 in Wrenbury, Cheshire, England.266 (Frances COTTON was born about 1573 in Wrenbury, Cheshire, England 267.)
