Notes - Baptized at Bideford on January 3 1706 (1707 by our reckoning), to parents John and Patience Whitefield, according to an unsourced reference in the IGI, a reference which is not attached to any family tree. Probably the family was Puritan. No reference could be found to a Patience Whitefield or Mary Whitefield baptism at the established church at Northam (Patience Whitefield's residence at the time of her marriage) or Bideford in the transcriptions available on LDS Film #916,813, nor any baptisms of children of John and Patience Whitefield at any Anglican church in the vicinity (per IGI and North Devon Record Office Commissioned Research). The Independent church at Bideford remains to be checked, and probably holds the solution to this "missing" baptism.

Patience predeceased her husband; the will of her husband Alexander Ley (see notes for Alexander Ley) indicates his desire of a burial next to his wife at "Mainadieu Burying Ground."
