      Editors: Lydia (Ashcomb) Newman was not the daughter, but the step-daughter of William Battin, who on 1 Jan 1652 "demanded from His Lordship 650 acres of land for the transportation of himself, his wife Margarey, his wife's daughter Lydia Ashcomb, his servants George Newman, Richard ----, and Susannah ----, and a servant Robert Joyce whom he had purchased from Robert Brooke and for whom he was to have 50 acres of land." After his death, his widow Margery married John Bowles, but died shortly thereafter. Jane Battin, sister of William, married Thomas Smoot, son of William "the Boatright."
