Thomas Dunne of Eyton died and was buried 7
June 1662 in Wroxeter. Thomas of Eyton, yeoman, left a will
naming his wife Mary, eldest son Francis, sons Ralph and
Andrew, and daughters Joyce, Margaret, and Martha. No
mention is made of a daughter Joan or Joanna, so Jeffrey is
most likely to be Joan's father.
Another Jeffrey had children christened in
Wroxeter in the 1640s with wife Jane: Margaret (1643) and
Jeffrey (1645). Since he is not mentioned in Thomas' will,
Jeffrey may be another child for Jeffrey and Margaret.
