John Edmundson, Jr. and Judith Chute Edmundson:
WEC: "Judith married John Atkinson or Edmondson and had seven children." (WEC, page 9)
I have never been very comfortable with these records. Parish Records confirm that a John Edmundson, Jr. was born to a John Edmundson, Sr. in Crosby Garrett. The same John Edmundson marrying a "Judith Chute" came from an unconfirmed pedigree submitted by a member of the LDS church. That the couple named one of their sons "Lionel Chute Edmundson" may have also come from a parish record. My difficulty with this record has always been the dates of the records. Our Lionel would have been her older brother, born in 1580. This Judith is estimated to have been born around 1624 (44 years later), and marrying John Edmundson in 1649, when Lionel - by this time deceased - would have been a year shy of 70 years old. Is it possible that Susan Greene's child-bearing years spanned over 44 years? (Judith still had a younger sister, Grace).
As we still are unsure of the later whereabouts of Lionel, Jr.'s siblings George (b. ~1582) and Cleve, I'd be more inclined to suspect that this Judith may have been one of their daughters, named after her aunt, and not Lionel's sister. Certainly the namesake, "Lionel Chute Edmundson" would put her in the same family, but her rather inexplicable change of venue, from Dedham, Essex (where you'd expect her to be) to Westmorland (in the northwest of Great Britain) could be explained by either George or Cleve having taken off for parts northwest and settling there. I would REALLY like to eventually locate the records of the parents of this Judith Chute - my feeling is we'll learn she is Lionel Sr's granddaughter, not his daughter.
Interestingly enough, there is record of a George Chute, estimated birth date of 1584, located in Shropshire, a mere two counties away from Westmorland, and a considerable distance from Essex. Again, an Ancestral File and not an official source, but something worth researching further.
