  "There is no evidence to support the suggestion that Anthony Eames' wife was Margery Pierce or Prisse, who coincidentally had an ellegitimate daughter in 1621. Nor is there any proof that Margery, Anthony's wife, died 31 Dec 1662, the date her daughter Persis died."
  
  Margery Eames,' the wife of Anthony' was one of the several beneficiaries in the Will of Roger Kete of Fordington who referred to her as 'his Kynswoman' [1]
  "the Will of Roger KETE a Gentleman who was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 5th June 1620. His will is dated 15 Mar 1619/20 and in it he makes a bequest to "my kinswoman Margery EMES the wife of Anthony EAMES-- ...Margery is one of four main benefactors under his will, so was clearly well known to him and held in high regard. He leaves her 40 shillings in money, his best pewter charger with a plate, a little standing bedstead, a long coffer, a coverledd and a feather bolster and a quarter of his residual estate.
  
  Anderson, Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, Vol 2, C-F 389, does not list her maiden name. NEGHR 131: 27 gives "Margery (Pierce?)."
  Kete refers to Margery as a kinswoman in his will. In total he mentions four women specifically as 'kynneswomen', Luce Seager, Virtue Howman, Margery Eames and.... 'kynneswoman Millicent Turner ' A Roger Seager was together with Anthony Eames made an advisor to the executors of the will. In the will, Kynswoman Luce Seager was described as the daughter of John Seager ( NB there is also another Luce, not referred to as kinswoman, she was the daughter of Richard Seager.) A Millicient Seager (Zeager) daughter of John Seager was baptized at Fordington in 1578.[3]
  
  In 1594, Roger Kete of Fordington, signed a bond to pay for the maintenance of several children Millicent, Virtue, Margaret, Roger, Margery and Luce Segar[4]
  Four of the Kynswomen mentioned in the will of Roger Kete share the same Christian name as four of the five Seager girls mentioned in the bond. A Roger Seager was the sixth child mentioned in the bond; Roger Seager was an advisor for Roger Kete's will.
  Was these children's father John Seager? Was it Margery Seager that became the wife of Anthony Eames?
  
  The families are certainly closely connected. Luce Seager, daughter of Richard married John Eames, the brother of Anthony. Anthony appraised Richard Seager's chattels after his death.
  It is not known who Roger Kete was (a Roger Kete was mentioned as cousin and Kynsman and made overseer of the will of Hugh Kete of Cheselborne in 1598 ( Ketes of Cheselborne have a pedigree recorded in the Dorset Visitation). [5] . Roger Kete is noted in his burial entry as 'gent', An Alice Kete, married a John Seager (Zeager) on the 7th of July 157
