"(Robert Elwell married) (1) by about 1634 Joan _____. … On 28 August 1639, '2 children of Rob[er]t Elwell' were baptized at Salem church [SChR 17]. These two were probably sons Samuel and Josiah. Eldest child Mary may have been born in England and if so, was probably baptized there."

"Whether (Robert Elwell) brought his wife Joan with him when he came to New England or she was a Dorsetshire girl whom he met at Dorchester, is not known. … At all events Joan Elwell had a brother in Stoke Abbot, co. Dorset, who had recently died in 1648, leaving her a legacy in the hands of her sister-in-law, as Tristram Dolliber wrote from Stoke Abbot to John Balch and William Woodbury of Salem."
- ↑ This family figured in the NBC television show "Who do you think you are?" in the segment about Sarah Jessica Parker. She traced her line back to Robert, and in investigating his family in Salem found that his daughter-in-law Esther (wife of son Samuel) was one of the last women charged with witchcraft in Salem in 1692. (She was accused after the court had dissolved, and survived.)
