Mary Kempe's Mother



In RPA, p. 273, Mary Kempe, wife of Dudley Digges (d. 1638/8), is identified as the youngest daughter and coheiress of Thomas Kempe, Knt., of Ollantigh, Kent, by Dorothy Thompson. However, on p. 556 of RPA and p. 631 of MCA, Mary is identified as the daughter of Thomas Kempe and his first wife, Anne. The latter two pages cite the will of Dorothy Kempe. Can anyone clear up the confusion and identify the mother of Mary Kempe? Thank you, M. Zashin
