    [Note: Ferris is attempting to show that the widow of Thomas Cakebread, named Sarah, married Philemon Whale, and not John Grout. Thus she is showing that Sarah Busby had no previous marriage, and that the wife of Thomas Cakebread was not her, as claimed in many sources, including Source:Morse, Abner. Genealogy of the Descendants of Capt. John Grout and Source:Jones, Elizabeth E. Boice. Captain John Grout of Watertown and Sudbury, Massachusetts and Some of His Descendants. That she married John Grout is proven by her father's will. Ferris shows evidence that John Grout's first wife was Mary Cakebread, that only son John, by Mary, had rights to the Cakebread property, and thus accounted for John Grout's acquiring properties previously owned by Thomas Cakebread without needing to assume that Sarah Busby m.
