• Notes

  ATGG: "Ancestry of Two Great Grandmothers, Esther (Root) Poole, Lois (Sprague) Mears", compiled by Winifred Lovering Holman, S.B., 1938, copy at the NEHGS, - D0007 MARRIAGE: ATGG, pg. 113 (married by 6 Nov 1683, no surname known) DEATH: ATGG, pg. 113. 1992 AF# 92CP-0G: 11 Dec 1715, Malden, MA or Lebanon, CT NOTE: ATGG, pg. 130 lists children Pg 114 notes: "It is unfortunate that the identity of John's first wife, Lydia, remains unsolved for she was the mother of all his seven children and may have been a Mayflower descendent." Ancestral file had a birthdate of 18 Jul 1658, Duxbury, but I found no Lydia's born on that date in Duxbury records. This is likely an error, as no parents are listed and it is unlikely a date would be available without the parents.
