References

↑ Several sources say his wife was Margaret Bartlett, perhaps copying NEHGR, Vol. 42, p. 262 since most use the same words. None seem to know a parentage or death date, no marriage record or birth of a Margaret Bartlett has been found, and it is unknown what the basis for this statement is. Clearly William's widow was named Margaret (swore to his inventory in his probate) and had some children with him starting with Margaret in 1676. An unknown Margaret married in Boston a man named Faithful Bartlett (no marriage record, had a child in 1671). The husband d. 1673 leaving his entire estate to his wife (no mention of a child). No connection found (no marriage record, last probate document dated 29 May 1673 still Margaret Bartlett, no deeds selling property if any, etc.), but seems a likely candidate.
