  • Notes 
    • 1. The Walter Palmer Society records Rebecca's death as "shortly before June 5 1684" because that was when the division, by sons Nehemiah, Moses and Benjamin, of land occurred on that date which "our father left for our mother to divide".

      2. Colonial Families of the United States of America: Volume 3 page 377 records this wife as "Esther", parents of Nehemiah.
