=== Life Sketch ===
Agnes Letton, daughter of Edmund, was the first wife of Thomas Golding of Cavendish, co. Suff., and Belchamp-Walter, co. Essex. Their daughter Joane married John Coo V. Joane was "the eldest half-sister of John Golding Esq., Auditor of the Exchequer, whom John Coo V appointed supervisor of his will. The pedigree of this Golding family appears in the Visitations of Essex in 1552 and 1558," according to Bartlett's Coe genealogy. Edmund Letton is identified as Agnes's father in the Visitation of Essex, 1558. See memories.
"The will of Thomas Goldyng dated at Cavendish, co. Suffolk, Jan. 5, 1504-5, probated Feb. 13, 1504-5, mentions Agnes "that was my wife"; seven daughters, Johane Coo, Alice Barker, Margery Strut, Johane Crisale, Agnes Smyth, Kateryn Golding and Johane Goldyng (to each of whom was left £20); three sons Roger Golding, John Golding, and Thomas Golding; and present wife Elizabeth." Note that this would be 3 adult daughters named Joane. The whole thing makes me nervous. More verification is needed.
from JG Bartlett, "Robert Coe, Puritan, His Ancestors and Descendants, 1340-1910" (Boston, 1911), p 29.

Factchecking these entries has turned up a dozen "children" who weren't children or had really bad data. All were "sourced" to GEDCOM.
GEDCOM IS SOFTWARE. GEDCOM IS NOT A SOURCE.
It's used to up/download private trees. Saying something's correct because of GEDCOM is exactly the same as saying something's correct because of MICROSOFT.
It takes a LONG TIME to factcheck misattached family members. Please don't make additions without a primary source (birth, death, will, etc.) or a published source.
Both Ancestry user trees & GEDCOM are reliably unreliable user-entered data, and neither should ever be your only reason for changing FS profiles. BIG THANKS.
