The ancestry of John Freake of Massachusetts can be taken much
further.
Muskett's book on Suffolk Manorial Families includes the will
of John's grandmother Elizabeth Freake, along with details of her
Taylor ancestry.

This book is written out over the spine (covers two pages at once)
You can view the double-pages at links like this

http://books.google.com/books?id=0EpbAAAAQAAJ&lpg=PT21&ots=1Gx2rkYt5C&dq=%22john%20born%20at%20hinton%201631%20and%20married%20to%22&pg=PT21#v=twopage&q&f=true

Notice how the "v" argument says "twopage".
This may be easier than trying to flip back and forth mentally joining the binding overlap

Fantastic.
I had known for years that Francis Smith had a wife "Miss Taylor" but no clue as to who she was.
This Francis is a Cecil 4 so this family is pulled in close to the others in my database by this source.

Thanks, John and Leslie -- John Freake is another low-hanging fruit, with a readily apparent armigerous ancestry, who should be on the NEHGS Roll of Arms of armigerous colonists but has heretofore escaped notice!
