[The next folio, 236, is the beginning of court records for "the first Day of June" 1640. Since part of the clerk's job would be recording the marriage date, the natural assumption is that there were 3 marriages on 16 May 1640.]

[Footnote] "It is not certainly known who were the five daughters of Mary (Starr) Maynard, wife of John Maynard, included in Dr. Comfort Starr's 24 grandchildren. The youngest probably were the twins, Hannah and Lydia Maynard, 'Dautr's of John Maynard from the Ch. of Duxbury,' 'aged about 4 days' when they were baptised '26 day 9 mo.' (before 1648) at the First Church in Boston (Report of the Record Commissioners of the City of Boston, vol. 9, p. 29). The three oldest daughters probably were born at Duxbury, but the early records of both the town and the church of Duxbury were burned. In 1668 Lydia Maynard was married to Samuel Hale of Charlestown; and in 1669 Hannah Maynard, her twin sister, was married to John Hayden. In Wyman's 'Geneatogies and Estates of Charlestown,' Lydia Maynard and Hannah Maynard are called daughters of John Maynard 'of Sudbury' (whose wife was Mary Axtell), who had a daughter Hannah born at Sudbury 30 Sept. 1653, but no Lydia is recorded. This error has given rise to some confusion. In 1664 Faithful Rouse made a generous bequest to Hannah 'Mainer' (Maynard) (no doubt a grandchild of Dr. Comfort Starr) 'who is with me;' and in 1679 Suretrust (Starr) Rouse, his widow, in her will made bequests to several Starr relatives, including Lydia (daughter of Samuel and Lydia Hale), James (son of Hannah Hayden), and cousin Mary Pell (wife of John Pell), probably an older sister of Hannah and Lydia Maynard, as may have been Elizabeth Edmands."
