    [Note: the deed does not give relationships. this is unfortunate as the records of this family are incomplete. Many of the following are grandchildren, as son Samuel, daughter Tabborah/Tabitha and daughter Keziah had died. In particular, some are married granddaughters, hence not obvious due to two name changes. It is believed that all the direct heirs have been linked to their respective pages, while spouses of heirs are left unlinked (obviously reachable through the associated heir's page).]
