Transcript talk:Savage, James. Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England/v2p561


Defect 1

The will is found exactly where Savage says it is [1] and besides Ebenezer and Jonathan, it clearly mentions "my Daughter Mehetable" twice and "my three Children Ebenezer Jones and Jonathan Jones and Mehetable Jones" plus several "Children in Law". This error apparently caused other sources like Source:Ware, Emma Forbes. Descendants of Robert Ware of Dedham, Massachusetts to add doubt to their presentation "Mehetabel, daughter probably of Isaac Jones (see Savage)", when none is needed (based on this will and also several deeds that make it clear he had a daughter Mehitable Jones who married Robert Newell). --Jrich 04:42, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
