"Here again we probably have an error in reading the name, that of Shaw being very common in Weymouth and evidently being mistaken for Skate or Skath. There is ample proof that John Scate married Sarah Waters about this time and that she was the daughter of Lawrence1 Waters of Charlestown and Lancaster, Mass." Middlesex Probate 23904, quitclaim of Lawrence Waters Jr., Stephen Waters, John Skeathe, Joseph Waters, and Jacob Waters of their rights to estate of Adam Waters to Adam's father and mother.
[Note: this is to show that John "Skeathe" must have married a sister of Adam Waters, i.e., Sarah, to be a heir to his estate. Another deed is cited, but while showing close acquaintance, do not necessarily seem to prove a relationship as this does.]
