birthThomas was born before January 1557, because at that time he is mentioned in his grandfather's will. His older brother John died in 1596 "aged over 40", and considering his parents marriage in 1552, this means John was likely born around 1553-4, with Thomas being born about a year later. 1 Source ⇓ |

birth of childRichard Baker Sissinghurst, Kent, England ⇓ Most records say Joyce's Butlers family had resided in Kent for many genrations, and that her father was "of Ashford." His parents' families were of the area of Kent known as "Sissinghurst" at the time, however, which is most likely where he was born. At the time of his mother's death, it was mentioned that he was eleven years old, and this gives the rough estimate for his year of birth. 6 Sources ⇓ |
