402	Spouse's name is from their daughter's baptism record. I don't know for sure if this marriage record is correct yet.	Family: Horace Henry "Horatio" Wilson / Mary Bridget Dwyer (F7)
403	Stephen Hopkins went with the ship Sea Venture on a voyage to Jamestown, Virginia in 1609 as a minister's clerk, but the ship wrecked in the "Isle of Devils" (Bermuda). Stranded on an island for ten months, the passengers and crew survived on turtles, birds, and wild pigs. Six months into the castaway, Stephen Hopkins and several others organized a mutiny against the current governor. The mutiny was discovered and Stephen was sentenced to death. However, he pleaded with sorrow and tears. "So penitent he was, and made so much moan, alleging the ruin of his wife and children in this his trespass, as it wrought in the hearts of all the better sorts of the company". He managed to get his sentence commuted. Eventually, the castaways built a small ship and sailed themselves to Jamestown. How long Stephen remained in Jamestown is not known. However, while he was gone, his wife Mary died. She was buried in Hursley on 9 May 1613, and left behind a probate estate which mentions her children Elizabeth, Constance and Giles. Stephen was back in England by 1617, when he married Elizabeth Fisher, but apparently had every intention of bringing his family back to Virginia. Their first child, Damaris, was born about 1618. In 1620, Stephen Hopkins brought his wife, and children Constance, Giles, and Damaris on the Mayflower (child Elizabeth apparently had died). On September 6, 1620, the Mayflower sailed from England with 102 men, women and children: 74 male, 28 female, plus the crew. After arriving at the shores of what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts the Pilgrims did not disembark but spent their first winter living onboard. By April 1621, only 53 passengers and half the crew had survived. Women were particularly hard hit; of the 19 women who had boarded the Mayflower, only five survived.	Hopkins, Stephen (I526)
404	Supervisor at the Stockton California State Hospital. 1900 US Census: Supervisor (of ?) 37 employees. Job titles of the employees include: stenographer, assistant secretary, porter, farm laborer, coachman, attendant and painter. See attached source.	Lorenz, William Henry (I1250)
405	Surname may have been spelled 'Perrie' (pg.3...Incomplete History of the Descendants of John Perry of London)	Perry, Rev. John I (I115)
406	The article on her 80th birthday celebrations says she was a leap year baby, born on Feb. 29th but her death certificate says Feb. 9th. Maybe she celebrated her birthday on Feb. 9th.	McMahan, Emily Alice (I1236)
407	The Caledonia is sometimes mentioned as the ship William came over on...I cannot find this ship in available lists. It is more likely he arrived on the ship Welcome (aka William Penn's fleet), which arrived in DE on 27 Oct 1682, & Chester, PA on the 28th.	Gregg, William II (I965)
408	The Caledonia is sometimes mentioned as the ship William came over on...I cannot find this ship in available lists. It is more likely he arrived on the ship Welcome (aka William Penn's fleet), which arrived in DE on 27 Oct 1682, & Chester, PA on the 28th.	Gregg, John Henry (I1168)
409	The first family settled Savoy in Sep 1777. Within ten years there were 35 families, including Joseph Williams Jr (husband of Nathan Sherman's sister, Experience) of Taunton. And Peleg Hathaway, Nathan Sherman, and William Reed of Middleborough. The town of Savoy does not start showing up on maps until 1825.	Sherman, Nathan (I1454)
410	The house dates to 1670. It originally was on what became East Main Road but was moved to the present location (168 Fairview Lane) in the 18th Century. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~scwhite/sherman/philiphs.html	Sherman, Philip (I563)
411	The informant on the death certificate is William H. McCown of Deepwater, Missouri, husband of Estelle Bartlett, Pet's niece.	Myers, Pet Belle (I1998)
412	The original county of his place of birth was Brunswick. Lunenburg County was not established until 1745.	Mustain, Thomas (I1304)
413	The source for Mourning's marriage gives 'James' as her father but yet Pittsylvania court records give his name as Zacharias. Perhaps 'James' is his middle name or simply a wrong transcription from the original document (current belief).	Lewis, Zacharias (I1363)
414	There's a Charles L. Bartlett living 4 doors up from the Myers. He was born 1832 in Green County, NY and is buried in Park Cemetery. A relation to the husband to be?	Myers, Carrie A (I969)
415	This 1856 Iowa Census shows a "Joseph", born just before the census, but no Charles who had the near same date of birth. I have determined that they are one and the same.	Myers, Charles M. (I1994)
416	This is just a guess. The passenger list to the US for her husband shows William and his children but not a name for his wife. Did she die in Ireland or on the voyage over??	Gregg, Mrs. William (I959)
417	This present marriage is from "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations". See also source "Alden Genealogy"	Family: Thomas Delano / Rebecca Alden (F46)
418	Thomas was one of the founders of Hartford. The first English settlers arrived in 1635. Pastor Thomas Hooker and Governor John Haynes led 100 settlers with 130 head of cattle in a trek from Newtown (now Cambridge, Massachusetts) in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and started their settlement just north of the Dutch fort. The settlement was originally called Newtown, but was changed to Hartford in 1637 to honor the English town of Hertford. The explorer also created the town of Windsor (created in 1633). The fledgling colony along the Connecticut River had issues with the authority by which it was to be governed because it was outside of the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay Colony's charter. Therefore, Thomas Hooker wrote the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, a document investing the authority to govern with the people, instead of with a higher power. Hooker stated May 31, 1638: "The foundation of authority is laid, firstly, in the free consent of the people" Some historians believe Hooker's concepts of self-rule were the forerunners of the United States Constitution.	Bliss, Thomas (I401)
419	Undertaker at the Brownington and Maplewood Cemeteries from abt 1910 to abt 1919. See attached sources.	McCown, William Henry (I260)
420	Unknown if he was born in England or Plymouth, MA. Per the GSMD he was perhaps the son of Cornelius Peterson (info from his FindAGrave memorial)	Peterson, John (I153)
421	Urn with his widow in Plymouth, Indiana	Miller, William Kenneth "Bill" (I1245)
422	Who are Rebeckah's parents? The source "Some of the Descendants of Philip Sherman" states she is the daughter of Abigail Williams. Father's name is not mentioned. There are trees that have her father's name as Lemuel. Where the heck does that even come from? No sources were given nor have any been found so it's all speculation. Many trees have her parents as Abigail Briggs (1742-1815) and Lemuel Williams (1742-1833). The problem is Abigail did not marry Lemuel until 4 years after Rebeckah was born, a date we only think is abt 1771. If we change that to say 1776 so she is shown as born after the marriage, it would make her too young to have married Nathan Sherman in 1787. Now, Lemuel was married prior to Abigail to Molly Jones in 1769. Possible that Rebeckah was their child. Other trees have her parents as Rebecca Otis and a different Lemuel Williams. There WAS a Rebecca born of this marriage born 5 Apr 1778 BUT that date would make her too young to have married Nathan Sherman in 1787. So this would not be Rebeckah's parents. In the end, though, we know nothing of her parents, and definitely not her father's name.	Williams, Rebeckah (I1458)
423	Who are Stella and Mary McCown? My grandmother, Marjorie McCown never mentioned to her husband or her children that she had two younger sisters.	Bartlett, Estelle May (I1597)
424	William “Bill” Sanders, 73, of Fredericktown, died March 26, 2012. He was born August 3, 1938 in Birmingham, Alabama. Bill married Margaret Sanders November 4, 1972. She survives. Other survivors include four daughters, Connie Hall of Fredericktown, Theresa Cameron of Bella Vista, Arkansas, Melanie Fitzhugh of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Emily Howes of Wenztville, Missouri; and eight grandchildren. Mr. Sanders was in the Army Special Forces. He enjoyed technology, hunting, fishing, and reading. Services were March 27, 2012, at Follis and Sons Funeral Home.	Sanders, William Douglas (I1248)
425	William and his brothers, Cinncinatus and Thomas, are living with Joel Duvall and family./Windsor, Henry, Missouri	McCown, William Henry (I260)
426	William is living with his father and sister, Caroline. Marshall, Illinois is where his sister, Augusta, married Henry Lorenz in 1855. Located 20 miles west of Terre Haute, Indiana; the residence of his brother, Adolph.	Reinhard, William (I1340)
427	William M. McCown and James Williams (brother of Nancy Williams, wife of Elijah Thomas McCown) arrived in California after traveling for three months from Indiana. They spent the next few years prospecting for gold.	McCown, William M. (I972)
428	William's mother and his two sisters died in 1873 when he was 3 years old. Then two years later his father died. He and his remaining siblings are shown living with Joel Duvall and his family in the 1880 census.	McCown, William Henry (I260)
429	Year is just a guess. His parents arrived in the US from England abt 1634. Not known if he was born before or after they arrived.	Ely, Samuel (I1108)
430	Year of arrival based on birth of daughter Rebeckah. Nathan resided in Colrain until at least 1830 but probably until 1837 when Danforth Whiting (Rebeckah's husband) deeds him property in PA.	Sherman, Nathan (I1454)
431	Year of birth is based on the age given on her death record.	Aldridge, Cynthia "Sintha" (I2039)
432	Year of birth is just a guess based on the birth year of John Henry Gregg. Her name is not known and is NOT Ann Wilkinson (see notes with marriage and for her husband William Gregg).	Gregg, Mrs. William (I959)
433	Year of death just a guess. It appears she is in the 1840 Census with her husband but she is not with her husband in the 1850 census.	Brown, Elizabeth (I1897)
434	Year of death per conversation with Doris (Dunn) Perry on 3/19/2016. Place of death could be England or Ireland. She said Mai-Mai's father died when she was 4 and her mother died when she was 11. Also, Horace had a will.	Wilson, Horace Henry "Horatio" (I22)
435	Year of death per conversation with Doris (Dunn) Perry on 3/19/2016. She said Mai-Mai's father died when she was 4 and her fathef died when she was 11.	Dwyer, Mary Bridget (I125)
