Biography

Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Mercy (Sprout) Oldham, was born in Scituate on October 4, 1691. She married John Damon, son of Experience and Patience Damon in Scituate on September 12, 1717. John was born on May 7, 1687 in Scituate.

Elizabeth and John resided in Scituate where they had four children: Relief, Mercy, Ezekiel and Lusanna. By February 28, 1742 they had removed to Pembroke ("John Damon of Pembroke" involved in a deed). They were both living on May 5, 1770 when they acknowledged the sale of their house and ten acres of land in Pembroke.

Research notes

While the Mayflower Families ("silver book") on Henry Samson's family (Vol. 20, part 1, p. 42) which was published in 2000 names only the 4 children we list on Elizabeth's profile, part 2 published in 2005 adds Thomas who married first Alice ___, an later perhaps ____ Miller?^[1]

  • There is on the marriage page a place to click no spouse.
• Check the appropriate certainty and confidence buttons and no middle name if appropriate (it usually will be before 1700).

Biography Section

• Good Bio?
  • Are there sentences with clear sources for the data points?
  • Does the bio agree with the data points?
  • If a marriage is mentioned in the bio is it also in the Data section?
  • Inline citations? Help page Inline Citations. If still confused ask.
• Good Sources? There are plenty of primary sources for passengers and children and good secondary sources. Ancestry trees, Millenium file, Yates Pub., Find a grave indexes, Find a Grave without stones are not acceptable.
• Children list (sourced)? Each profile of a person who had children should have a list of those children at the end, (with some identifying fact). One secondary source for the list is fine. Their profiles will have better sourcing.
  • Are the children attached the ones on the list? Do the facts agree?
