   Note: Wentworth (publ. 1878) reports the marriage date as 3 Jun 1657. This date was also reported by Source:Stackpole, Everett Schermerhorn. Old Kittery and Her Families, p. 780 (publ. 1903), but differs from the 30 Jun 1657, which comes from the town registers as reported by Bell^S2 (1888) or from NEHGR, p. 95:182 (1941, "Alexander Shapleigh and Some of His Descendants" by Ralph Bartlett).
