.ii Diana Skipwith. She married before 1652 Major Edward Dale. They had three daughters, Katherine (wife of Capt. Thomas Carter), Mary (wife of Daniel Harrison and Humphrey Jones), and Elizabeth (wife of William Rogers).

Remark : It does not indicate that the supposed marriage date of �before 1652� for Diana Skipwith and Edward Dale is simply a guess, which happens to conveniently fit the birth date of the daughter Katherine. In contract, Gary Boyd Roberts in RD600 states clearly that Katherine�s maternity has been disputed. Richardson�s certainty in this matter is especially interesting, since he cites as one of his sources Charles Ward�s TAG article of 2000 without noting that Richardson himself in 2001 characterized that article as �flawed�.
