[4832] In 1698, John Needham was embroiled in scandal and was judged to the
father of Elizabeth Frost's bastard child. The name of the child is not yet known.
Elizabeth and John Francis are said to have had one daughter, Elizabeth, but
there does not seem to be a record of her birth, making it at least possible
that she is the child of John Needham.

(Thompson quotes extensively from the original court order books.)
pp28-29: "Their honors judged John Needham to be the reputed father of the
child and ordered him to pay 2s. 6d. maintenance per week. Needham appealed
to the superior court whose judgement is not known."
