Grace Mott and Elkena Parris, late of Connecticut, were married 20 Dec 1760. Ref: Scituate, MA Town & Vital Records, 1620-1988.
I believe Grace's mother's maiden name was Atwood, but I do not have the citation at hand. I'm a newbie here, and need to study proper format for entering information before I post too much.
