Important Notes: In the will of Henry Hunloke written 13 July 1610, he mentions "To my loving son, William Benedeke, forth shillings to buy him a ring for rememberance, and to my daughter, Ann Benedeke, twenty pounds at one and twenty years of age." For years, researchers have interpreted this as meaning Henry had a daughter, Ann, who married William Benedict.
Roberta B. Pierson has done some extensive work on this. She discovered that Henry's 1st wife, Margaret Walker, was 1st married to Nicholas Marsh in 1559 & they had a daughter, Judith. Nicholas died & Margaret married Henry in 1564. Judith married William Benedict & had a daughter, Ann. The son, William Benedict, Henry spoke of, was his step son-in-law. In that day, son was often used instead of son-in-law. And his daughter, Ann Benedict, was William's daughter, not that of Henry. Judith had died by the writing of Henry's will. There is no "Ann Hunloke". See Thomas Benedict for his ancestry. - klm.5,6
