    These Franklins were probably his relatives. John Broke was his stepson, Frances Clarke and Margaret Hartynge (Katherine her daughter), his step-daughters; and John Wilson and John Clerke, husbands of two stepdaughters. Two of the godsons were step-grandsons.
    Katherine, the wife of Robert Brooke and John Beryman, was possibly born about 1500 and probably in co. Kent.
