    'Priscilla Bennett is often said in electronic databases to have been born at Weymouth, England, on 5 October 1631, and her mother's name is sometimes given as Elizabeth/Alice Egington; never, however, do primary-source citations accompany these claims. That the date is exactly twenty years before that of Priscilla's marriage to William Carpenter raises suspicion that it originated from an estimate of her age on the latter date. It is not certain, moreover, what Priscilla's relationship to Edward Bennett was ... And in any case, his origin and the identity of his wife are unknown.'

    "James S. Elston has suggested that the Priscilla Bennett who married at Rehoboth on 5 October 1651 William Carpenter was the daughter of Edward [Bennett] ... but no evidence is seen for this relation, and she may just as well have been a sister or totally unrelated."
