  1. Source:Savage, James. Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, 2:224, probably relying on Source:Deane, Samuel. History of Scituate (Massachusetts), p. 273, identifies the wife of Joseph Gannett as widow Sharp. The marriage record in Marblehead clearly gives her name as "Deborah Combs". The Scituate VRs however, have a birth record for Benoni Sharp, "s. Deborah (w. Joseph Gannett)", born two months before Deborah's marriage to Joseph. This is probably an illegitimate child, acknowledged by the father, so given the father's name, but there probably was no marriage involved.
