    "Abraham3 Waterhouse (Watrous) is stated in the article to have married, first, in 1697, Hannah Starkie or Starke, who died in 1734, … The first wife is identified as daughter of Aaron2 Starke. The Stark genealogy, published in 1927, also makes this identification. It may be correct, but as the name of Hannah was written 'Starkie' in the marriage entry, and as there was a Starkie or Starkey family in
    Saybrook around that time, I should like to see the evidence before accepting the Stark statement."

    This source does not mention a Hannah Starkie/Starkey nor an Abraham Waterhouse. However, records for this Starkey family are scanty. It is unlikely that Abraham Waterhouse's wife was of this Starkey family, but Mr. Jacobus's reservations are still appropriate.
