    "probably a sister or dau. of Nathaniel Pierson Sr. of Salem [presumably based on Jeremiah being appointed administrator of the estate of Nathaniel Pierson, Sr., of Salem in 1683], or possibly sister of Christopher Foster of South Hampton [is this based on Jeremiah Vail mentioning Jeremy Foster, grandson of Christopher, in his will?]"

    Catherine died just before or just after Jeremiah left Easthampton (March 1659) [i.e., there is no record to pin it down to before or after, so this amounts to an estimate based on the date of remarriage, but distractingly associated with his removal from Easthampton, which may or may not be related.]

  3. Jeremiah remarried 24 May 1660. She was alive in early 1658 when she testified in the witchcraft trial of "Goody Garlick".
