In his will of 21 January 1666[/7?], "James Mattock" included bequests to "daughter Alice, [wife] of John Lewis," and "daughter Mary, now [wife] of Samuel Browne."

The claim has also been made that Alice later had two additional husbands, Abraham Howe and John Harris of Rowley. The only contemporary source cited for these marriages is from Suffolk deeds. This volume is currently listed as missing, but the index shows for this volume and page a deed from "Alice How," also called "Alice Warren," to Samuel Mattock (the brother of Alice (Mattock) (Bishop) Lewis.

In her will of 8 January 1680[/1], "Mary Mattocks" (widow of James Mattocks) included bequests to "my daughter Alice How" and "my daughter Mary Bishop."
