    "The marriage of Deborah Champion, daughter of _____ Champion and Samuel Mather, 1 Jan. 1711-2, is recorded at Lyme, but no record of the birth of any daughter of the Champions who would correspond to her has been found. [See Mather Pedigree', N. Eng. Hist. Gen. Reg., vi. 21.] Since Samuel Mather was born 23 Jan. 1683, it would seem that Deborah could not have been a daughter of the Settler. It is also improbable that she was Deborah [b. 1697], who would have been but a little over fifteen years of age at the date of the marriage and fourteen years younger than her husband, and is recorded to have been married to Ebenezer Johnson in 1718. [See Caulkins' 'History of Norwich,' p. 233.]"
