Is it possible that Hannah Hallett-543 is a child of Joseph Hallett-41 and Elizabeth Gorham-28. I have seen this relationship in a few family trees, but cannot prove it yet? This would change the birth of either Hannah Hallett, and/or Mercy Hallett since they were both born about the same time. The reason I am asking, is because I found a DNA match with an 8th cousin once removed. His first match, to me, seems to be Joseph and Elizabeth. He is related to Mercy and I am related to Hannah, my 6th great grandmother. Hannah and Mercy would be sisters.

I've tried to locate a reliable source for the specific marriage date we have in the data field: 5 Mar 1666, and cannot find one including Torrey and the Barnstable Town Records (indexed & transcribed by Hinckley). I checked all the sources we currently have on the profile, although I've ignored the Ancestry trees, and can't locate anything.

Does anyone have a reliable source, or should we make it "1666" as Torrey suggests?

[Edited to add:] BTW, the 1643 date in the biography is her parents' marriage date.

Elizabeth Hallett will be just nine degrees from Philip Dick, author of Man in the High Castle and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? tomorrow, where she is 16 degrees away today. She is an ancestor of Dick's third wife Anne Williams.
