- ↑ There is a comment in Source:Kingsbury, Arthur Murray. Kingsbury Genealogy, p. 14-15, identifying the wife of Joseph Kingsbury as "Millicent, who perhaps was an 'Ames'", alluding to that identification of her in some secondary sources. As her identify is not known, it cannot be disproven, but it is questionable. Source:Boyer, Carl. Ancestral Lines : 206 Families in England, Wales, the Netherlands, Germany, New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, p. 345, says "Forrest A. Kingsbury reported that Joseph Kingsbury1 was a son of James Kingsbury of Boxford, England, and ... came to America from England in 1628, and that his wife Millicent was an Ames, but offered no documentation whatsoever". The Forrest Kingbury book is hardly more than a skeleton tree, and indeed offers no evidence for any of its assertions. This Ames myth gets repeated in Source:Kingsbury, Kenneth J. Kingsbury Hall : The Genealogy of a Family, Vol. 1, p. 50, says "Joseph Kingsbury and Millicent Ames were married in 1628 in Boxford, Suffolk, England. Millicent Ames (daughter of Anthony Ames and Margery Pierce) was born in 1611 in Fordington, Dorset, England.". The lack of a precise marriage date suggests the basis is assumption, and not an actual marriage record. Despite a marriage alleged in 1628, this source still shows the first birth to be not until 1635, leaving a nearly unheard of 7-year gap between marriage and first child? There also appears to be some confusion with Person:Millicent Eames (1) who married a William Sprague, not Joseph Kingsbury, whose parents are known to be the Anthony Eames and Margery Pierce referred to. Finally Fordington Parish Registers are reported to be missing for the years 1609-1613 [Genealogical note 2, here) the year her birth supposedly occurred. All this suggesting a somewhat questionable credibility for sources identifying the mother as Millicent Ames, placing the marriage in 1628, or Millicent's birth in 1611.
