- Source:Chamberlain, George Walter. History of Weymouth, Massachusetts, p. 3:267, "There is a statement that his [i.e., Thomas Holbrook's] wife was Jane Kingman, born near 1600, but no authentic record of this fact, has been found by the compiler."
- ↑ Both Thomas and Jane are shown as age 34 in the passenger list of the Marigold. Thomas later deposes he is 77 in 1666, which would imply he was 12 years older than the passenger list indicates. Normally one might assume that the age given when he is younger is less likely to be corrupted by faulty memory, but a marriage in 1616 seems to indicate the passenger list does, to some extent, understate his age. No such alternate evidence exists for Jane, but it would not be surprising if Jane turned out to be somewhat older than indicated by the passenger list, say born around 1596.
