"He [Henry Kinne of Salem] married Ann ---? who as his wife was admitted to Salem Church Aug. 24, 1654. She died 1680. Several published biographies state she was Ann Howard, born 1632, dau. of Thomas Howard of Aylesford, Co., Kent, England who came with his wife, Susannah and five children to Ipswich, Mass., March 17, 1634... But other records say Ann Howard d. unmarried and that Henry Kinne married 12th day 10th month, 1649 Ann Putname. She is presumed to be the same Anne Putnam who was baptized Feb. 4, 1629-30, Greenwich, Kent, Engl., dau. of Edmund (Edward) Putnam of Greenwich and his wife Anne Compton, who were married Feb. 10, 1623-4 at Greenwich, Engl. As the Kinne and various Putnam families were close neighbors in Salem, this latter supposition seems logical and is presumably correct."
[Note: no such marriage record in 1649 has been located. Note that earlier on the same page, it is stated that "As Henry Keny and Keny [sic] he appears in Ipswich, Mass. records in 1648." So the proximity argument seems unconvincing given that the other candidate was from Ipswich. The basis for this argument in general seems based on assertions in unspecified sources (what source says Ann Howard died unmarried? what source says Anne Putname married 12th day, 10th month, 1649), so lacking in credibility.]

"What is most confusing in regard to this Ann Howard/Ann Putnam conflict is that marriage dates have been provided for both. ... It is known that Henry1's first child is born on 11 January 1651/2 at Salem. Therefore, it seems more reasonable that the second marriage is the one that produced John2 Kinney [their first child]. ... If Ann Putnam was his only wife, subsequently having her children in fairly rapid sequence, why did it take them two years to have their first child? It would seem most likely to this writer that he married both."
[Note: This speculative theory does not actually answer the question why it took them two years to have their first child, since whether he married once or twice, the gap is still two years. Something such as a miscarriage could easily account for the gap, and it hardly seems likely that between 12 Dec 1649 and 3 May 1650, the first wife could die, and the husband remarry, especially since there would be no children to take care of, and that in typical practice something on the order of a year is usually seen for mourning.]
- ↑ Until the primary sources for one or both of the proposed marriage dates can be identified, or some other primary document giving an irrefutable identification, all the theories in the world are nothing but speculation, and the resulting answer can carry no weight.
