  2. [S1145] Walter K. Watkins, "Sheafe Family of Guilford", 213–214, Joane was the "widow of ___ Downs of Challock." Jacobus (TAG XV) cites Canterbury records "that a license was issued, 15 Aug. 1599, to Edmond Sheafe of Woodchurch, yeoman, and Jane Downe of Challock, widow. At Woodchurch, John son of Edmond Sheafe was baptised 24 Aug. 1600." But, "It is certain that the widow Jane Downe who married Sheafe in 1599 was not Joan (Jordan) Kitchell, whose Kitchell husband did not die until 1602."
