NOT Margaret.
She would be named after her grandmother

There is apparently a Martha Lynne, bapt 17 July 1598, Haddon,
Huntingdonshire (now in Cambridgeshire).
(todo) See original.
This could be her since Haddon is close to her mother's family home of Morborne.
She
mar John Blennerhassett [of near Tralee, Co.Kerry, Ireland] and had issue.
Her aunt
Elizabeth Forrest

Sir Arthur Denny
