Another daughter for Giles and Joan (Sheafe) Fletcher

A while back, I posted on the identity of Joan (Fletcher) Ames, wife of
Rev. William Ames, who has New England descendants surnamed Angier and
Cheever, among others. See http://tinyurl.com/aw36f . She was part of
the wide-spread Sheafe immigrant network to New England.

The new ODNB biography of Giles Fletcher the elder says this about his
wife and children:

He married Joan Sheafe (1562-1614) in his father's church at
Cranbrook on 16 January 1581. They had at least eight children, Phineas
(bap. 1582), Anne (bap. 1584), Giles Fletcher the younger
(1585/6-1623), Elizabeth (bap. 1587, d. 1593), Joan (bap. 1588), Sarah
(bap. 1590), Judith (bap. 1591), and Nehemias (d. 1596). On 23 June
[1580, I guess] he was created LLD. After their marriage the Fletchers
lived for some years at Cranbrook, but about 1585 moved to London,
where three of their children were baptized.

It appears there was also a daughter Priscilla, as Hutchins' _Dorset_,
2:688, lists a M.I. at Maiden Newton:

"Here lyeth buried the body of PRISCILLA SQUIER, daughter to the right
wor'full Mr. Gyles Fletcher, doctor of ye cyvyll law, and wife to John
Squier, clarke; who died the 9th of November, anno aetatis XXVII,
annoque Dom'i 1624."
