  • Notes 
    • NOTABLE: Sailed to Massachusetts on the ship Elizabeth, April 1635.

      When she sailed to Massachusetts she would have been about age 70, not age 6 as was recorded on the passenger list. Age 6 is accepted as a clerical error by the originator back in 1635; there was probably supposed to be another digit after the 6, e.g, an 8 or 9. She sailed with daughter Patience, widow of Richard Foster and grandson Hopestill.
