Research Notes
Marriage date given 1764 in Maffett; 1767 in Martha Ensign Nelson.
Parents previously listed were James Slade and Experience Parker, but they were detached in 2020 because the dates did not reconcile with their daughter Mary, b. 1761, who married William Stanclift.
Should also not be confused with Mary Ives (1746-1819) who married Samuel Ensign (1745-1816) on 3 Sep 1767. Mary Ives - That Samuel Ensign was the son of Eliphalet Ensign, and not the son of Moses Ensign.
