Notes:

"Daniel Wing, Senior, of Sandwich, had a daughter Lydia who was a most remarkable rebel against the conventional lifestyle in her family and town. [Following the death of her first husband, Thomas Hambleton,] she returned to Sandwich about 1677 at age 30 with two small sons born in Rhode Island, and lived with these boys in a primitive hovel previously used by Indian women tending to summer crops on open planting fields. This was unheard-of, and furthermore, the land had not been granted to her or to anyone. (This field where she settled is now the park around the Military Museum at Heritage Plantation of Sandwich.) Her living here was a matter of deep embarrassment to her father and to the Quaker community, who gave her gifts of shoes, com, wool and cash, and would have found her a proper house, but she refused to move. Her story continues to her death at about 57, a rebel to the end." [From Sandwich: A Cape Cod Town by R. A. Lovell, Jr. Sandwich, Massachusetts: Town of Sandwich, 2015. The reader will be excused for rolling their eyes at the racist language about "Indian women" and their "primitive hovel." As we now know, native Americans in New England were far more sophisticated agriculturalists than the immigrant Europeans realized.]

Lydia married John Abbott between Sep 1683 and 1685. John was born about 1645; died before 1714 in Sandwich, Barnstable, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Desire married Phineas Chase on 19 Jul 1719 in Rochester, Plymouth, Massachusetts. Phineas (son of Abraham Chase and Elizabeth) was born on 3 Feb 1693 in Yarmouth, Barnstable, Massachusetts; died before 22 Apr 1755 in Oblong, Dutchess, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Peleg married Abigail Shepard on 27 Apr 1743 in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts. Abigail (daughter of Daniel Shepherd and Mary Sherman) was born about 1725 in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts; died on 24 Jan 1808 in Conway, Hampshire, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John Carroll Chase and George Walter Chamberlain's multi-part article "Some of the Descendants of William Chase of Roxbury and Yarmouth, Mass.", in the The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, beginning at volume 87 (1933), page 46, contains a serious error involving this Daniel Chase. At page 257 we see "DANIEL(5) CHASE (Eber(4), William(3), William(2), William(1)), of Swansea, born at Swansea 13 Feb. 1712, died there. He married first, 7 Aug. 1740, HANNAH COOK, who died in 1740; and secondly, 27 May 1741, MARY BAKER." But at page 332 we see "DANIEL(5) CHASE (Phineas(4), Abraham(3), William(2), William(1)), born 9 Jan. 1740, died at Providence, N.Y. He married, 7 Aug. 1740, HANNAH COOK."

It's obviously unlikely that two different Daniel Chases should have both married a Hannah Cook on 7 Aug 1740. The second one appears to be our Daniel Chase, as his children include Deborah who married Prince Wing (albeit as the wife of "Prince Wings").

The actual identity of the "Hannah Cook" who married Daniel Chase, son of Phineas Chase, was cleared up in 1953 in Mrs. Albert Hunt Chase's "Hannah (Tallman) Cook, Wife of Daniel(5) Chase of Quaker Hill, New York," in The American Genealogist 29:41, January 1953. She was the daughter of John Tallman and Anne Bennett; her first husband was Chaplain Cook, who died two years after their marriage, and she then married Daniel Chase.

Daniel married Hannah Tallman on 7 Aug 1740 in Tiverton, Newport, Rhode Island. Hannah (daughter of Dr. John Tallman and Anne Bennett) was born on 24 Nov 1715 in Tiverton, Newport, Rhode Island. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He may have been born in Sandwich or Dartmouth. We know that his father Peleg removed from Sandwich to Dartmouth by 1742 and returned to Sandwich sometime before 1767. No birth record exists for Noah that would resolve this. Daniels and McLean (citation details below) say "We do not know where this man was born or lived as a child, but he had returned to Sandwich before the date of his marriage as the publishment calls him 'of Sandwich.'"

According to this note, Noah Gifford apparently used the name Samuel Gifford when publishing his marriage intentions regarding Mary Bowerman. This is not quite accurate. The handwritten register of Falmouth marriage intentions viewable here on ancestry.com (requires login) quite unambiguously says "Noah Gifford of Sandwich & Mary Bowerman of Falmouth Published for marriage 5th June". A later hand appends "1784?" The year seems likely given that the entry is between entries both of which say "1784" in the original hand. However, a different handwritten list of actual Falmouth marriages shows Mary Bowerman of Falmouth marrying "Samuel Gifford of Sandwich" on 26 Jun 1784, by "Nathaniel [Shiverick? - not entirely legible], Justice." It is notable that this latter document appears to be a compilation from earlier records, rather than an ongoing ledger.

His death date is unknown to us. Many sites show him dying in Conway, Massachusetts in 1802, with no proof. The 1790 census of Conway shows him alive there at that time. The town records of Westport, Massachusetts show a Noah Gifford dying there in 1835 at the age of 77, which would be about right for this Noah, but according to Mayflower Births and Deaths this was a different Noah Gifford, the one that married Martha Hathaway.

Noah married Mary Bowerman after 5 Jun 1784 in Falmouth, Barnstable, Massachusetts. Mary (daughter of Judah Bowerman and Mary Dillingham) was born on 10 Oct 1758 in Falmouth, Barnstable, Massachusetts; died between 1834 and 1835. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
