• Notes

  Sometimes shown as a daughter of Hanniel Bosworth who came to New England in 1638 "with various other youths, all of whom were to be servants to John Whittingham of Southerton, co. Lincoln and of Ipswich in New England." [Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines, citation details below.] But chronologically this is impossible. Onomastics suggest that this Hanniel and Dorcas were siblings and that their father was also named Hanniel, but we know nothing more.
