Research Notes

Anne Pell's origins are not known for certain. Savage suggests she might be the daughter of Joseph Pell.^[3] Another source says she is the daughter of Joseph Pell, but provides no citations to support it.^[4] Other sources also say that Joseph is likely to be Anne's father; she was likely born about 1637. It is written that Joseph Pell married first Elizabeth Taylor, and had two children baptized at Great Hale, Lincolnshire, England:^[5] Joseph came to New England with a second wife, Johanna Crocket about 1638. Hannah/Anna, whose birth date is unknown, was thought to be the daughter of Joseph's second wife.^[6]
