Really interesting. I love live love reading letters so this was a great read! It’s funny because as Americans, we are taught very little about Martha Washington.
On Richard Cromwells Wikipedia page, it says he was married to Dorothy Maijor, but I always like to double check, so I opened up his entry on Thepeerage.com, but it didn't mention his wife, only a daughter so I looked him up on DNB ( Oxford Dictionary of National Biography) but as I'm not a member I couldn't open up his page, but I'm sure you'll find the information there.
Dorothy MAIJOR 's family lived at Hursley, near Winchester, Hants, not Southampton. After their marriage, Richard Cromwell and Dorothy Maijor settled at her family estate in Hursley. The Maijors were Hampshire gentry.
So interesting! Thank you for posting.

Ah, interesting!
(This is a tongue in cheek comment) Are you implying that the residents of Southampton, England are eccentric??,!!!

If you look at www.thecromwellassociation.org/wordpress/cromwells-wife-and-children/ that should give you lots of information.
