Groom's listing in Arnold, Vital Record of Rehoboth, 318, spells Joanna's surname Holdrick; bride's listing (ibid., 174) spells it Heldrick; original Rehoboth marriage record reads Heldrech, one of several variants of Hildreth (Eugene Cole Zubrinsky, "Joanna Hildreth, Wife of Capt. James3 Redway of Rehoboth, Massachusetts: How Much Circumstantial Evidence Is Enough?" New England Historical and Genealogical Register [hereinafter Register] 146[1992]:337–42, at 337–38).

Death

Original Rehoboth death record has Joanna's year of death as 1742/3; her gravestone has 1641. That the latter is the correct (Old Style) year—which, when dual dated, is 1741[/2]—is explained in Register 146:338n2).

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Joanna by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Joanna:
Hildreth-1369 and Holdrick-1 appear to represent the same person because: Although the records show several different spellings, the correct family is that of Isaac Hildreth. Please merge.
I added Joanna's parents and added her to the Hildreth Name Study. I will add sources for her, too. Vic
