Notes:

The last mention of her in the record is in Weymouth, where on "the 11th day of the 6th month 1651 Elizabeth Phillips wife of Nicholas" gives her consent to her husband's sale of a house and several parcels of land to Francis Smith of Hingham.

She is called "Elizabeth Jewson" in several reasonably reputable sources, for instance the 1951 The American Genealogist article cited below, but we have been unable to find proof of this.

Notes:

He and his wife came from England on the Diligent, which arrived in Hingham, Massachusetts 10 Aug 1638. The Packards were listed on the ship records as Packer and Parker, from Wymondham, Norfolk.

They removed from Hingham to Weymouth about 1653 (not in 1638 as some records claim), and on to Bridgewater in about 1663. There he was a selectman, a constable in 1664, and in 1670 licensed to keep an ordinary.

Samuel married Elizabeth. Elizabeth died after 27 Oct 1694. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"There is no evidence to support the often repeated conjecture that her surname was 'Stream.' Elizabeth's surmane does not appear in any records and Stream was not a usual surname in East Anglia." [The Plymouth Colony Pages]

Notes:

Emigrated about 1635; admitted as freeman of Weymouth 26 May 1647.

"He was admitted as freeman of the Colony May 26, 1647. In a deposition made by him and recorded in the Mass. Archives, Vol. C, xxiv, 16, he states under date of July 2, 1688. that he was eighty years of age, and that prior to coming to this country he was 'living for sometime in Wendover, Bucks Co., England.' This statement suggested Wendover as his native place. Accordingly the author of this genealogy employed a competent person to go to Wendover and ascertain the facts of the case. The examination revealed no trace of Robert Randall or of any of the Randall name. The oldest and best informed residents had never heard that any of the family resided there; no Randall tombstones were found, and the vicar of the Wendover parish did not discover the name on his church records, which, however, only dated from 1682. The conclusion necessitated by these facts was that Robert Randall was only temporarily resident at Wendover, and was not a native of the town. His English origin must therefore for the present remain an unsolved problem." [A Biographical History of Robert Randall and His Descendants, citation details below]

Robert married Mary. Mary died before 3 Sep 1640 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts; was buried on 3 Sep 1640 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
