Simon Dakin and Elizabeth had seven children between 1694 and 1712 all with sources showing Elizabeth as the mother. I refer to the record found in familysearch.org https://familysearch.org/tree/#view=ancestor&person=LZ29-Z5L
Elizabeth born 1680 and John Spencer are my fifth great grandparents. Thus my main interest in all this is the Ebenezer Mirriam connection, which Elizabeth Brooks did he marry? The birth patterns of the children of the Elizabeths and his with Jerusha leave doubt or questions about the Elizabeth Brooks connection.
