• Notes

  Her maiden name may have been Woodward, as widely reported online, but we know of no proof of this. Online genealogies to the contrary, she does not appear among the recorded children of Ezekiel2 Woodward (1625-1699) by any of his three wives; see Doris J. Woodward and Patricia Law Hatcher, "The English Origin of Nathaniel Woodward, Early Settler of Boston, Massachusetts and Ancestor of Beamsley Woodward of Maine", The Maine Genealogist 20:147, 1998.
