Mark Symonds was born in 1584 in Birch Great, Essex, England. His parents were William SYMONDS and Alice ROSEBLADE. He married Susan Edgar on 24 Apr 1609 in Birch Great, Essex, England. He married second Joanna [__?__] in 1619 in Essex, England. He appeared first in Ipswich about the year 1634. Mark died on 28 Apr 1659 in Ipswich, Essex, Mass.

Nothing can be found to prove or disprove that this Mark Symonds is the man of that name who married at Great Birch, county Essex, England, on 24 Apr 1609, Susan Edgar.

Children of Mark and Joanna:
1.) Mary Symonds, born 1621 Rowley, Yorkshire, England. Married Edward Chapman ca. 1639 Ipswich, Mass. Died 10 Jun 1658 Ipswich, Mass.

2.) Susanna Symonds, born 1623 Essex Co.,England, married Capt. John Ayres (brother of Sarah AYRES) c. 1650, died 2 Feb 1681/1682 Ipswich, Mass.

3.) Priscilla Symonds, born 1625 Birch Great, Essex, England, married John Warner about 1639 Ipswich, Essex Mass, died 1688 Hadley, Hampshire, MA

4.) Abigail Symonds, born ca. 1622 Essex Co.,England, married Robert PEARCE ca. 1644, died 28 Jun 1680 in Ipswich, Mass.

Mark may possibly have been a very distant relative of the noted Samuel Symonds, of Yeldham, co. Essex, and Ipswich, Mass., though there were several families of the name in New England not known to be connected.
