• Notes

  Travis Dodge Miscia's Summer 2024 NEHGR article "The Cumbrian Origins and Puritan Connections of Ann (Borodell) Denison and Margaret (Borodell) (Shepard) Mitchell" (citation details below) identifies the husband of Margaret Mitchell as "Henry" Sewall. A correction in the next issue (Fall 2024) reads "Patrick Nielsen Hayden notes that the husband of Margaret Mitchell (p. 258) was Stephen Sewall and not Henry, with which the author agrees."
