Martha Garner’s descent is given by one source2329 as:

John was b. in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and Susannah was b. in Kent I. Or St. Marys City, MD
John’s parents were Thomas Garner (1610-) and MaryLacye (1613-) both b. Canterbury, Kent

One careful researcher has cast doubt on Martha’s presumed heritage.2330
