Research notes==Some online trees show, without evidence, Elizabeth Robinson as the second wife of Henry Beste and the mother of Bridget Beste. At this time, there doesn't seem to be a source proving Grace Boithes as Bridget's mother (baptism and marriage record do not includemother's name, nor any records of Grace after her marriage to Henry Beste). Bridget did name a daughter Grace, however the lack of direct evidence does leave open the possibility of a different mother and second wife for Henry Best.
