  • Notes 
    • Other: Family: Her brother, Cornelius, was born a servant in a large householdin England and eventualy enlisted in the army ( this came from the Chronicles of Cromwell's Army).He was indeed one of the regicides, who were asked to vote on whether or not King Charles was to be put to death. He appears to be one of the ten who abstained from the vote which carried nevertheless and the King wasput to death.Cornelius was given many lands in Ireland when Cromwell's forces rampaged through the country ( apparently there are records listing a fraction of these lands in the National Archives in Ireland). When Charles' son came to power around 1650, he wanted to avenge his father's death and confiscated theseand his other properties. Cornelius escaped to Lausanne, Switzerland where hespent the rest of his life

      Her father (and father-in-law is similar):

      Cornelius Holland (1599 ? c. 1671[1])

      Born London, England; died possibly at Lausanne, Switzerland about 1671, after he was wanted for his part in the regicide of Charles I of England.[2]

      Holland is alleged to have been the chief hand in drawing up the charges against King Charles I, although he was not present when the sentence of death was pronounced, nor does his name appear on the warrant of execution. In February 1649, he was appointed to Council of State[3][4] and was reappointed the next years.[5][6]

      Holland lived for a time at Creslow Manor House which he remodelled ca. 1646.[7] This manor house is mentioned in Chambers Book of Days under June 23:[8]

      While Creslow pastures continued in possession of the Crown, they were committed to the custody of a keeper. In 1596, James Quarles, Esq. Chief Clerk of the Royal Kitchen, was keeper of Creslow pastures. He was succeeded by Benett Mayne, a relative of the regicide, who was succeeded in 1634 by the regicide Cornelius Holland. This Cornelius Holland, whose father died insolvent in the Fleet, was 'a Poore boy in court waiting on Sir Henry Vane,' by whose interest he was appointed by Charles I keeper of Creslow pastures. He subsequently deserted the cause of his royal patron, and was rewarded by the Parliament with many lucrative posts. He entered the House of Commons in 1642, and after taking a very prominent part against the king, signed his death-warrant. He became so wealthy that, though he had ten children, he gave a daughter on her marriage ?5,000, equal to ten times that sum at the present day. He is traditionally accused of having destroyed or dismantled many of the churches in the neighbourhood of Creslow, [including the churches of Creslow, Granborough and East Claydon[9]]. At the Restoration, being absolutely excepted from the royal amnesty [(the Indemnity and Oblivion Act)], he escaped execution only by fleeing to Lausanne, where, says Noble, 'he ended his days in universal contempt.'
