Name Susanna HOMERSHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Gender Female Will 1 Mar 1680/81 Written 
The will of Susanna Rickson (née Homersham) (d. 1681)
(the second wife of Michael Rickson, Michael probably being a 7 x great grandfather of mine)Buried 12 Mar 1680/81 St. Mary of Charity Church, Faversham, Kent, England 
[1] Probate 7 May 1681 Archdeaconry Court, Canterbury, Kent, England Siblings1 brother Patriarch & Matriarch 
[ - ? - ] HOMERSHAM, d. Yes, date unknown (Father)
Notes - (Research):Susanna was a widow when she married Michael so I'm not certain of her maiden name.
In her will she refers to her brother William HOMERSHAM, so that was probably her maiden name - but 'brother' could mean half-brother, step-brother or brother-in-law so it can't be assumed as certain. As well as 'brothers' with the surname Austen (presumably brothers of her husband before Michael Rickson, as she married him as an Austen) she mentions a 'brother' Thomas Dann. A sister or sister-in-law's husband?
(There are far more mentions of a brother William Homersham, plus bigger bequests to his family, so that seems a closer relationship).
If looking for baptism / first marriage remember alternate spellings Homerson and Homersom.
