Person talk:Joan Unknown (361)

From Joan Hull (2): Wrong Family [27 June 2010]

This person is in the wrong family. Joseph Hull is though to have married Agnes after 1632 when it is thought his first wife died, and before 1635 when she is listed as his wife on a passenger list to New England. So at a minimum she is placed in the wrong family. But it appears even that is not possible. He (and WeRelate) already have a daughter Joanna by his first wife, and the dates on this page do not fit the fact known about Joanna. She was born about 1620 since she was 15 in the passenger list of 1635, a precision that rules out a birth in 1625 as this page shows.. She was living as a widow in Barnstable in 1683 so did not die in 1663 in Connecticut. The ages of other children leave no room in this family for another child born in 1625. --Jrich 09:11, 3 March 2009 (EST)

Now that she has been moved to Rev. Hull's first marriage, she is most likely still in the wrong family. She cannot be the same as Joanna Hull, and a birth in 1625 would seem inconsistent with a marriage in 1638. Some sources are needed to justify this person's information. --Jrich 18:58, 27 June 2010 (EDT)

As late as 1967, Donald Lines Jacobus writing in the New England Register apparently found insufficient evidence for identification of the birth surname of Joan, wife of Henry Peck of New Haven. There is no evidence that Rev. Hull had two daughters named Joanna/Joan; his eldest daughter Joanna married John Bursley and then Dolor Davis and, incidentally, any evidence identifying even the baptismal name of his first wife. See The Great Migration sketch of Joseph Hull for more detail.--jaques1724 17:58, 8 May 2012 (EDT)
