  1. Estimated marriage date of before 1722 is based on birth of son Samuel on 25 Jul 1722 (see Source:Chelmsford, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States. Vital Records of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, to the End of the Year 1849, p. 49). Samuel is called his eldest son in Robert's will, known from birth records to be older than Esther, the first daughter mentioned.
  2. Source:Prescott, William. Prescott Memorial, or, A Genealogical Memoir of the Prescott Families in America, p. 50, says that Esther Prescott m. --- Conant. Typically this type of partial identification is based on a will or probate document naming her as Esther Conant. Meanwhile, Source:Conant, Frederick Odell. History and Genealogy of the Conant Family in England and America, p. 208, says Robert Conant m. (1) Esther ---, m. (2) Sarah ---. This appears to be the only Conant wife named Esther that could be Esther Prescott. Robert and Esther are the same age. Then they named their first son Samuel, probably after Esther's father. So, while entirely circumstantial, this seems like a very good match.
