Notes

• Pope stated that this couple had "children Rebecca (married Robert Lord), [and] Martha (married Richard Thurston)" [Pope 430]. This may be based on the will of the remarried widow of Christopher Stanley, who called these two women her daughters. Christopher Stanley himself named no children in his will, and the nature of his bequests implies he was childless. Also, his widow named several children of her second husband, William Phillips, as if they were her own (William, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Phebe and Sarah), but all of these were the children of William Phillips with his first wife.RootsWeb (Comment by Beryl Meehan.
