Daniel(2) Gott (Charles(1)) of Wenham, Mass., … married 2 Jan. 1665, recorded at Lynn, Mass., with Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Morris of New Haven, Conn., where she was baptized 20 Dec. 1643. Edward Holyoke died at Rumney Marsh, 4 May 1660, and gave legacies to his kinsman, Thomas Morris of Newham [New Haven in abbreviated form must be understood], and to his kinswoman, Mary Mansfield. John Mansfield of Lynn (son of Robert and Elizabeth and brother of Andrew and Joseph) had a wife whose name is not revealed in is probate; she is always mentioned as his wife or widow [Essex Probate, 301:5, 10; 311:314, 315; 312:149]. His will, probated in 1671, left his estate "unto my Cozen Daniel Gott his now wife & his heirs … who freely begotten of his now wife … but if they both shall depart this life without a lawful heir" the estate is to go to his brother Andrew's children. This was provisional - "if Daniel Gott & his family come to Lynn & live with me and my wife at Lynn during our lives." Many years later, in 1715, Daniel Gott quitclaimed to the Mansfield family the estate of John Mansfield, stating that though he did for many years profit and enjoy the land and the living, he had not carried out the provisions of the will. The wife of John Mansfield is probably the Mary Mansfield called kinswoman by Edward Holyoke, who cannot be accounted for as any Mansfield girl or wife unless she was the wife of John. The wife of Daniel Gott who was "cousin" (niece) of John Mansfield's wife was Elizabeth Morris. The only Elizabeth Morris suitable in age who has been located was the daughter of Thomas Morris of New Haven, who also called kinsman by Edward Holyoke. The logical inference is that Thomas Morris and Mary the wife of John Mansfield were brother and sister, and relatives of Edward Holyoke; and that Elizabeth Morris, the wife of Daniel Gott, was daughter of Thomas Morris and hence niece of the wife of John Mansfield.
