  • Notes 
    • NOTES:and Palatinate by H.W. Newman. Maryland Calendar of Wills, p 30. IGI Parisha Records. The Register Book of Christening, Marriages, & Burials in the Parish of St. Paul, without the wall of the city of Canterbury, 1562-1800, edited by Joseph M. Cowper, p 18. was accused of being a whore, who gave herself to William Robinson. Robinson then told of this incident at a tavern in front of several people, including Baker. Among the witnesses of this case were Thomas Hussey and his wife, Elizabeth, called by the defendant, Thomas Baker. It was learned that Baker had a grudge against Nevill from earlier years. The court found Baker had maliciously defamed Nevill and his wife. He was ordered to ask forgiviness in open court on bent knees, and pay court cost. John Nevill and his wife too asked Baker for forgiveness of God. Another neighborhood fight broke out in 1663, when "Goodie Nevill" supposedly gave a devil horn finger sign to another woman. She also stated this woman was the whore of Captain Batten. This melee was limited to the women. Johanna lost the suit, and had to pay out 5 goats."----------------------------------------------------------------l be of childbearing age, but it would have been getting iffy, given the birth date ascribed to her.
