Disputed Parents

This profile was previously attached to parents Leonard Hoare (abt.1630-1675) and Bridget Lisle. (Leonard was John's brother). Joanna's parentage isn't confirmed in documentation. However, the evidence excludes Joanna as a daughter of Leonard, who had two daughters (Tryphena and Bridget) recorded in vital records, and left a will, not naming Joanna as a child. G. Andrews Moriarty, in Joanna Hoar, Wife of Ezra Morse of Dedham, Mass. NEHGR 110 (1956), concluded by process of elimination that John was the most likely member of the Hoar family to be Joanna's father.^[1]
