ANNA CLARK was born around 1516, in Fenny Compton, Warwickshire, England, to Martin Clarke (1500- ) and Margaret Mayney.
Around 1536, Anna Clarke married William Wyllys, in Chipping, Warwickshire England.
In 1536, Anna Clarke, age 20, died in Warwickshire, England. (Note below.)
Child of William Wyllys and Anna Clarke:
1.Ambrose Wyllys was born about 1533, at Fenny Compton, Warwickshire, England to William Wyllys (1512- ) and Anna Clark (1516-1536.) He married Amye Colles, born 1535 at Little Preston, Northumberland. They reportedly had “eight sonnes all deceased in their infancy, but one sonne named Richard, and one daughter named Anne, yet living.” Ambrose Wyllys died about 1590 and is buried at the Church of St. Peter and St. Clare at Fenny Compton, built in the 14th Century. He was about 57 years old
NOTE: According to limited sources research, ANNA's marriage and death occurred in the same year of 1536. It would then appear that Ambrose, his last name spelled differently as "Willis", was born 3 years (1533) before they were married. However, another source has given their marriage date around 1530 as is shown. (Possible transcription error between 1536 & 1530) Also, sources have shown that ANNA had another son, Richard, but with the date of birth as 1539, obviously 3 years after her death. Richard is her grandson that she never knew, son of Ambrose, born at a later time. Date of death may be 1542.

from Wikkipedia:
Margaret of France (c. 1279[1] – 14 February 1318[1]), a daughter of Philip III of France and Maria of Brabant, was Queen of England as the second wife of King Edward I.
Early life:
Her father died when she was three years old and she grew up under guidance of her mother and Joan I of Navarre, her half-brother King Philip IV's wife.[2]
Marriage:
The death of Edward's beloved first wife, Eleanor of Castile, at the age of 49 in 1290, left him reeling in grief. However, it was much to Edward's benefit to make peace with France to free him to pursue his wars in Scotland. Additionally, with only one surviving son, Edward was anxious to protect the English throne with additional heirs. In summer of 1291, the English king had betrothed his son and heir, the future Edward II, to Blanche of France, half-sister to the French King Philip IV, in order to achieve peace with France. However, hearing of her renowned beauty, Edward decided to have his son's bride for his own and sent emissaries to France. Philip agreed to give Blanche to Edward on the conditions that a truce would be concluded between the two countries, and that Edward would give up the province of Gascony.
Edward agreed, and sent his brother Edmund Crouchback, Earl of Lancaster, to fetch the new bride. Edward had been deceived, for Blanche was to be married to Rudolph III of Habsburg, the eldest son of King Albert I of Germany. Instead, Philip offered her younger sister Margaret to marry Edward (then 55). Upon hearing this, Edward declared war on France, refusing to marry Margaret. After five years, a truce was agreed upon under the influence of Pope Boniface VIII. A series of treaties in the first half of 1299 provided terms for a double marriage: Edward I would marry Margaret and his son would marry Isabella of France, Philip's only surviving daughter. Additionally, the English monarchy would regain the key territory of Guienne and receive £15,000 owed to Margaret as well as the return of Eleanor of Castile's lands in Ponthieu and Montreuil as a dower first for Margaret, and then Isabella.[3]Margaret's seal as queen[4]
Edward was then 60 years old, at least 40 years older than his bride. The wedding took place at Canterbury on 8 September 1299. Margaret was never crowned, being the first uncrowned queen since the Conquest. This in no way lessened her dignity as the king's wife, however, for she used the royal title in her letters and documents, and appeared publicly wearing a crown even though she had not received one during a formal rite of investiture.[5]
Edward soon returned to the Scottish border to continue his campaigns and left Margaret in London, but she had become pregnant quickly after the wedding. After several months, bored and lonely, the young queen decided to join her husband. Nothing could have pleased the king more, for Margaret's actions reminded him of his first wife Eleanor, who had had two of her sixteen children abroad.
In less than a year Margaret gave birth to a son, Thomas of Brotherton who was named after Thomas Becket, since she had prayed to him during her pregnancy. That Margaret was physically fit was demonstrated by the fact that she was still hunting when her labour pains started.[6]
The next year she gave birth to another son, Edmund.
It is said[who?] that many who fell under the king's wrath were saved from too stern a punishment by the queen's influence over her husband, and the statement, Pardoned solely on the intercession of our dearest consort, queen Margaret of England, appears. In 1305, the young queen acted as a mediator between her step-son and husband, reconciling the heir to his aging father, and calming her husband's wrath.[7]
She favored the Franciscan order and was a benefactress of a new foundation at Newgate. Margaret employed the minstrel Guy de Psaltery and both she and her husband liked to play chess.[8] She and her stepson, the future king Edward II (who was two years younger than she), also became fond of each other: he once made her a gift of an expensive ruby and gold ring, and she on one occasion rescued many of the Prince's friends from the wrath of the King.
The mismatched couple were blissfully happy. When Blanche died in 1305 (her husband never became Emperor), Edward ordered all the court to go into mourning to please his queen. He had realised the wife he had gained was "a pearl of great price" as Margaret was respected for her beauty, virtue, and piety. The same year Margaret gave birth to a girl, Eleanor, named in honour of Edward's first wife, a choice which surprised many, and showed Margaret's unjealous nature.
When Edward went on summer campaign to Scotland in 1307, Margaret accompanied him, but he died in Burgh by Sands.
Widowhood[edit]Arms of Margaret of France as Queen of England.
Margaret never remarried after Edward's death in 1307, despite being only 26 when widowed. She was alleged to have stated that "when Edward died, all men died for me".
Margaret was not pleased when Edward II elevated Piers Gaveston to become Earl of Cornwall upon his father's death, since the title had been meant for one of her own sons.[9] She attended the new king's wedding to her half-niece, Isabella of France, and a silver casket was made with both their arms. After Isabella's coronation, Margaret retired to Marlborough Castle (which was by this time a dower house), but she stayed in touch with the new Queen and with her half-brother Philip IV by letter during the confusing times leading up to Gaveston's death in 1312. Margaret, too, was a victim of Gaveston's influence over her step-son. Edward II gave several of her dower lands to the favourite, including Berkhamsted Castle. In May 1308, an anonymous informer reported that Margaret had provided ₤40,000 along with her brother, Philip IV, to support the English barons against Gaveston.[10] Due to this action, Gaveston was briefly exiled and Margaret remained fairly unmolested by the upstart until his death in June 1312.
She was present at the birth of the future Edward III in November 1312.
On 14 February 1318 she died in her castle at Marlborough. Dressed in a Franciscan habit, she was buried at Christ Church Greyfriars in London, a church she had generously endowed. Her tomb, beautifully carved, was destroyed during the Reformation.[11]

Peter "Roe" died at Suffield on February 4, 1738/9[1]Peter is a descendant of Hugh Roe. Hugh's descendants are detailed, after a fashion, in the Frank C. Roe book[2]
Peter's descendant's are listed on page 10.
The family lived in for a time in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay Colony and then moved to Suffield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Suffield eventually became part of the State of Connecticut. Suffield is now known as Suffield, Hartford County, Connecticut, USA. [3]
In 1692, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was incorporated into the Province of Massachusetts Bay, of which parts eventually evolved into the State of Massachusetts (more or less).

There is an extensive biography of Hugh Roe. [1] He is also discussed in the Thomas Alcorn book.[2]
He was born in England. He immigrated to the area now known as Massachusetts. He lived for a time in Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony, where several of his 7 children were born. Weymouth is now identified as Weymouth, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA. [3]The family later moved to Suffield, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Suffield eventually became part of the State of Connecticut. Suffield is now known as Suffield, Hartford County, Connecticut, USA. [4]

When researching on any original records, consider these name changes over time. Some of the transcribed or interpreted data uses modern names instead of the event-contemporaneous names. This profile follows the Wikitree guidance for location names. [5]
When Hugh died, his estate was divided between son Peter and daughters; son Samuel had previously died.Don't know if will mentions 3 previous daughters from first wife. Will was filed in North Hampton, Hampshire County, Province of Massachusetts Bay if filed in 1692 or Massachusetts Bay Colony if filed before then.
Elizabeth would have been about 25 years old at this time in 1689. The will might indicate if she was married.
At the time of his death, Hugh was a landholder in Suffield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay Colony.

BIRTH: By about 1590 based on estimated date of marriage.
DEATH: Charlestown 15 May 1646 [ChVR 1:10].
MARRIAGE: By about 1616 (assuming she was the mother of all his children) Arrald _____; she died at Charlestown between 20 December 1661 (date of will) and 26 December 1661 (date of probate).
CHILDREN:
i ROBERT, b. say 1616; m. by 1649 Philip _____; she m. (2) by 23 November 1655 William Morris [MLR 2:35].
ii ELIZABETH, b. say 1619; m. by 1639 Thomas Pierce (eldest child of "Thomas Peirce and of Elizabeth his wife" bp. Charlestown 17 June 1639 [ChChR 48]).
iii MARY, b. say 1621; m. by 1641 Richard Lowden (eldest child of "Richard Lowden & Mary" b. Charlestown 10 May 1641 [ChVR 1:5]); d. Charlestown 7 October 1683 [ChVR 1:120].
iv JOHN, b. say 1623; m. by 1655 Ursula _____ [MLR 2:34]. (The peculiar claim is made that John "perhaps m. Boston, Nov. 10, 1659, Susanna, dau. Nicholas Upshur" [Snow-Estes 1:270]. This is a corrupted version of the marriage on that date of Joseph Cocke and Susanna Upsall, daughter of NICHOLAS UPSALL [BVR 72].)
v JAMES, b. say 1625; m. by 28 August 1655 Ruth _____; she m. (2) by 16 December 1661 Henry Mudd of Stepney, England. (Apparently Arrald Cole in her widowhood wrote letters to her daughters and daughters-in-law living in London in the 1650s; these documents, which are the source for the remarriage of Ruth (_____) Cole to Henry Mudd, are said to be in Middlesex Court Files and "quoted by Wyman in his Abstracts" [Mary E.N. Backus, ed., The New England Ancestry of Dana Converse Backus (Salem 1949), p. 71; see also Snow-Estes 1:270].)ASSOCIATIONS: When SAMUEL FULLER of Plymouth came to Massachusetts Bay in 1630 to provide medical assistance to the new arrivals, he made a great impression on the people who met him, and several of these families sent their children to live in Fuller's household, some to be his servants. In his will of 30 July 1633 he related that "Eliz[abeth] Cowles was committed to my education by her father & mother still living at Charles Towne," and he also made reference to his servant "Rob[er]t Cowles" [MD 1:24-29]. These would seem to be the two elder children of Rice Cole and his wife. COMMENTS: Rice Cole was admitted an inhabitant of Charlestown in 1630 [ChTR 5], and was included in lists of inhabitants dated 9 January 1633/4 and January 1635/6 [ChTR 10, 15].
