    After presenting evidence, including the 1656 death record of "Hittabel Rock" (whose surname might have had a mark indicating a contraction), and the estimated age of John's wife Elizabeth Weed, the author theorizes that John had 2 wives. Based on (mostly marriage) dates and names carried into the next generation, he proposes maternity of John's children, as follows:
    first wife (Mehitable ____):
    - wife of John Marshall, "usually called Hannah" (p. 107), born say 1650
    - child of John who died 31 Jul 1658, born say 1652, but position uncertain
    - Sarah, born ca. 1654
    - Mehitabel, born say 1656
    second wife, Elizabeth Weed:
    - Jonathan, born ca. 1665
    - Thomas, born ca. 1667
    - Joseph, born ca. 1670
