Note:

This source is provided here, though not a primary source, in the hope that more firm evidence may be found that supports it or dismisses it as inaccurate. It is odd that the names and birth years of the children of John Gartshore and Elizabeth Wood are listed without a sound source being provided, though the writer does state above the quoted paragraph:
"This is what I have re John Gartshore/ Elizabeth Wood, some from IGI, some from Gartshore family research, so obviously a little suspect" 1
