  • Notes 


    • Arrived in Massachusetts 2 Nov 1631, on the Lyon.

      Early Massachusetts settler whose personal life and wild habits of owning her own property scandalized Puritan society. She wound up living on Long Island with her third husband. She is the subject of a quite good 1958 historical novel by Anya Seton called The Winthrop Woman.

      The real indictments laid against her by her detractors were: (1) the suggestion that she began her relationship with her third husband before while still married to her second one (true) and (2) the suggestion that she was not legally divorced from her second husband when she married her third one (probably untrue). Added piquance was provided by the fact that her third husband had been her second husband's business manager. It seems clear, however, that her second husband (1) went insane and (2) essentially abandoned her.

      Elizabeth Fones (~1610->1655) = William Hallett (~1616-~1706)
      William Hallett (1648-1669) = Sarah Woolsey (1650-1727)
      Sarah Hallett (b. 1673) = George Phillips (1664-1739)
      George Phillips (1698-1771) = Elizabeth Mills (1706-1768)
      Samuel Phillips (1782-1806) = Sarah Mills (1734-1795)
      Hannah Phillips (1756-1834) = Daniel Brush (1744-1805)
      George Phillips Brush (1775-1829) = Polly Keeler (1780-1865)
      Emeline Keeler Brush (b. 1821) = Harvey Woodworth (b. ~1813)
      Louisa Mart Woodworth (b. 1842) = Thomas George Maxwell (b. 1835)
      James Willard Maxwell (b. ~1901) = Adele Thompson (b. ~1903)
      Mary Maxwell (1929-1994) = William Henry Gates, Jr. (b. ~1926)
      William Henry "Bill" Gates III (1955- )
