All of this is based on the earlier assumption that the Thomas Masters who married Ann and had five children in Staverton between 1720 and 1734 was the same Thomas Masters who was christened in Badby in 1695. Margaret Rushall was christened on 28 July 1633 in Badby, Northamptonshire. Her parents were John and Bridget Rushall (formerly West). I also have found some conflicting information suggesting her mother may have been called Ellen. Perhaps this was Bridget's middle name and she also used it. Her siblings were Henry (b.1630), Thomas (b.1634) and Sarah (b.1636). In approximately 1660 she married Thomas Masters, also of Badby, and they had at least two sons, John and Thomas in 1662 and 1663 respectively. Margaret's death is recorded in 1707 as Margot Masters. She is described as a widow. It is very likely that her husband had died six years earlier, in 1701.
