Notes for Fayth Cobb
Fayth (or Faith) is named in the 1610 Will of her father-in-law, Nicholas Browne.

Her maiden name on the church marriage record and the Bishop's transcription roll is difficult to read and has been transcribed as Colby, Cobb and Orbe. Cobb seems most likely.
Notes for Nicholas (Spouse 1)
Nicholas is named in the Will of his father and the Will of his brother, William. 849
Research notes for Nicholas (Spouse 1)

Notes for Nicholas & Fayth (Family)
Nicholas and his brother William apparently had a dual marriage ceremony.
