• Notes

  MARRIAGES: "Ancestry of Two Great Grandmothers, Esther (Root) Poole, Lois (Sprague) Mears", compiled by Winifred Lovering Holman, S.B., 1938, copy at the NEHGS, pg. 131-132. "He married thirdly, after May 1726, Abigail (Hodge) Tisdale of Taunton, Bristol County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, living in 1754, daughter of Henry and Esther (Gallup) Hodge and widow of Elkanah Tisdale." IGI has marriage Jan 26, 1725/6, but that is the marriage date for Prudence, who died May 1726. Marriage to Abigail must have occurred soon after, as their first son is born in January 1726/7. Record of gravestone (see death sources) indicates she was in her 63rd year at her death in 1760, giving a birth year of about 1697. Lists children on pg. 143. - D0007 DEATH: "Ancestry", pg. 131-132: living in 1754 FAMILY: "Ancestry", pg. 131-132 lists parents, siblings **************** Not in Taunton Vital Records ****************
