• Notes

  "Alice's husband either died in England or on the voyage to America for she was 'widow Alice Vermais' when she appeared before the Salem town meeting on October 29, 1638, with her son Mark and her presumptive brother-in-law, Robert Buffam, and asked for 'accomodation' which was granted her in the form of 50 acres on February 4, 1638/9."
