    "We do not know the date of [Thomas'] birth even approximately, but his wife seems to have been born about 1617 and their first child born about 1634..."

    "While married to Eno she was attended in 1669 by John Winthroop the Younger and was recorded in his medical journal (TAG 23:124) as then aged 52, which datum gives us a probable birth year of 1617. As this would have made her only 13 when the Mary and John arrived at Boston, it is probable that the marriage of Thomas and Elizabeth took place at Dorchester, and if she came on the same ship as Thomas, she was a child at the time. Winthrop's statement that she was aged 52 in 1669 may, however, be too low, in which case the wedding may have occurred in England... She died October 7, 1679."

  4. While many Holcomb genealogies give her surname as Ferguson, I have not found any primary source documents to support that conclusion. Respected researcher Robert Charles Anderson calls the claim into question in his "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633" series of essays
