There is a problem with her timeline.

She was born 30 years after her husband and gave birth to son Thomas 5 years before she was born.

Even if we changed her date of birth to match her husband, that would mean she gave birth to Edward and Temperance in her 60's.

Can anyone find a source, or does anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

A very reliable source is referenced in their profiles:

I’ll see what else I can find to help the dating issue.

I’d say Thomas Grendon, Sr., of Dukes Place may well have been son of a 1st wife. He was adult in 1627 & brother Edward was a baby in 1622. Elizabeth was living in 1628.

There is in fact question that heir Thomas was Edward’s son. This source suggests Thomas was a brother or nephew of Edward.

Erica Howton, great job, as always! Thank you for your help.

We’re not done. We need to make a decision on how to show Thomas Grendon, Sr., of Dukes Place Ancestry on Geni. That he was a son of Edward Grendon l, Ancient Planter is disputed, and I’m not sure we have all the Thomas’ in order.

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Under the Editorial ..., Volume 1
edited by Lyon Gardiner Tyler Page 248 lays it out, perhaps.

More detail.

*Genealogical Gleanings in England, Volume 1By Henry Fitz-Gilbert Waters. Page 430. [https://books.google.com/books?id=CaNCAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA430&dq... GoogleBooks]

So Lieut. Col. Thomas Grendon, III was the probable nephew & legatee of Edward.

In case the link didn’t work:

So - do we follow Waters & move Thomas Grendon, Sr., of Dukes Place as “probable brother?”

I think we’re missing a generation of Thomas’s.

Grace Byrd is named as aunt, not sister, of the Thomas who married Sarah Stegge / Grendon / Brayne

Fixed as best I know. I can’t figure the relationship of Thomas & Edward.

Thank you!
