Historical context

The supplied notes also discuss another Sewall line descending from Henry Sr. They name Richard Sewall Sr. and Mary Dugdale, and report that one of their children was Colonel Henry Sewall, born in 1624, who married Jane Lowe. The notes further state that, after that Colonel Henry Sewall died, Jane Lowe married Charles Calvert, 3rd Lord of Baltimore. This material is presented separately in the notes and should not be treated as a statement about Henry Sewall of 1614–1700 without further verification.
