| Notes |
- Also seen listed as married to Dorcas who married 1st White, 2nd Tobias Ingram. SEE other John in files.
Since John Sorrell was at least 34 if not 40 years older than his very young wife, its very likely he had a prior wife, not yet identified.
This prior wife would then be the mother of Thomas Sorrell the ancestor of the Aubrey's of Westmoreland County, Virginia.
Suposedly from the Huguenots , but not one of the Founders of Manakintowne, in the Colony of Virginia.
