• Notes

  It has been suggested that she was a daughter of Richard Ellis and Susanna Chapman, because, it is said, Susanna Chapman's brother Hope Chapman, of Westerly, Rhode Island, left to his "sister Ellis of Stonington" certain property and the upbringing of his son. But in Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island, page 41, we see an abstract of this will which makes it clear that the Ellis in question was his own sister, Susanna (Chapman) Ellis. Bond was given to this Susanna's two sons John and Richard. We find no evidence that Samuel Yeomans and Mary Ellis had sons named John or Richard.
