from L&M Companion—the Batten entry
…[of Batten’s four children] Mary married one Leming of Colchester. (A widow Mary Leming of St Mary’s Colchester died in 1671; her husband James, who died in 1668, may possibly have been Batten’s son-in-law if the date of his death can be reconciled with Pepys’s statement that he was dying as early as 1662)….Note Mary’s older sister Martha married William Castle the Shipbuilder.
