Here are some more suggestions for possible modifications in ODNB.

1. "Henry Cavendish." 8th paragraph: Doveridge, not Dovebridge,
Derbyshire.

2. "Nicholas Clagett c. 1610-1662." While the sketch recognizes that
Clagett was born at Canterbury, it says "Nothing is known of his
parents." He was baptised at St. Andrew's, Canterbury, Dec. 16, 1610,
son of William Clagett (c. 1575-c. 1639), haberdasher, common council-
man, auditor and sheriff of Canterbury. Nicholas' uncle was George
Clagett,
alderman and three times mayor of Canterbury; a monument in the
cloister of Canterbury Cathedral commemorates the descent from
George to the first Episcopal Bishop consecrated in the United States.
Nicholas attended the King's School, Canterbury, 1623-27.

Nicholas' wife Jane was daughter of Robert Dodson, of Derbyshire.
See
Chanc. Dep. C22/237/48, Cleygate v. Clarke, 20 C. II, relating to Jane's
inheritance from her father.

3. "Nicholas Clagett (bap. 1654, d. 1727)." He had nine children in
all.
His son Michael (1689-1728), B.A. Queen's College, Cambridge, M.A.
1713, fellow 1711-22, was vicar of Barton Cambridgeshire, and rector of
Pulham, Norfolk. Michael's son William Clagett (1717-1774), B.A. and
M.A.
Corpus Christi, Cambridge, was rector of St. Peter Hungate, Norwich.
One of Nicholas' daughters, Margaret, married Daniel Gell, secretary to
the
Bishops of Peterborough and Gloucester, registrar of the diocese of
Llandaff and chapter clerk of Westminster Abbey; see J.L. Chester, ed.,
Westminster Abbey Registers (1876).

4. "Nicholas Clagett (1685/6-1746), Bishop of Exeter." It is said
that
"nothing appears to be known about his mother's family." His mother
was Margaret Prime, and the will of the Bishop's sister, Margaret
(Clagett) Gell, refers to her "kinsman" Sir Samuel Prime (1701-1777),
king's serjeant at law, also noticed in ODNB.

5. "Sir John Peyton (1544-1630." The paragraph on Sir John Peyton
the younger (1579-1635) makes the birth years of his children much
too late. His son Robert was not born in 1626; he was admitted a
student
at Gray's Inn in 1633. Daughter Alice was born in 1607, not 1635/6;
her oldest son was born in 1635. There were six daughters in all. See
R.E.C. Waters, Genealogical Memoirs of the Extinct Family of Chester
of Chicheley (1878) pp. 315-18.

6. "Thomas Prence (c. 1600-1673)," Governor of the Plymouth
Colony. His father was not of Lechdale, Gloucestershire (there is no
such place); he was of Lechlade. It is stated that the father "emigrated
to Leiden as a puritan while his son was still young." I do not believe
the sources support this and I think it is erroneous. -- The discussion
of
the maternity of Governor Prence's three youngest children seems to be
based on Robert Anderson's The Great Migration Begins 3:1524, but
the author has misunderstood Anderson: the uncertainty is whether
these children were by Prence's 2d or 3d wife, not the 3d or 4th as the
ODNB sketch says. Anderson shows that the children were born long
before Prence's 4th marriage.
