An added note appears on our fgs: Research by Donald L. Jacobus. (2) I have recently found in Randon Wilson's files a family group sheet prepared by his grandfather Joseph E.

I have added this information and attempted to make notes where the two sources do not agree. -L. Wilson, 4 Dec 1991. !BIRTH: Place of birth as given by Joseph E. Wilson, Jr. !ORDINANCES: As given on fgsheet prepared by Joseph E. Wilson, Jr. An added note appears: "Work done by Calvin C. Wilson." !DEATH: Estate settled - 1667.

      NOTE: According to Source (4) Benjamin, Charlestown, and wife Ann had Ann, b. 1 Jul 1636 and soon after a Benjamin born 6 Oct. 1637; we must suppose was Elizabeth Ann as Elizabeth is next seen on the records as having Benjamin 4 June 1659,. Some aid is furnished by church records which a Benjamin was bapt. 1 May 1664, but how old is not mentioned and Jeremiah, 22 Oct. 1665. Benjamin was a mariner, died "at sea" , says the County records when administration was given 17 Dec 1667 to his widow, Ann. Inventory taken 9 Jan 1667.
