  5. Many sources, including both Bond and Savage, give Miles a daughter Grace who is alleged to be the first wife of William Healy. This requires an additional marriage for Miles which is not in evidence. Further additional research on William Healy and John Polly apparently have removed all the reasons that led Bond and Savage to this conclusion. See Person talk:Unknown (24780) for a more detailed discussion on why it seems unlikely.
  6. Bond and Savage give Miles age at death as 86 without justification. Not knowing the basis of this data, and given the Watertown records and gravestone both saying 76, this appears to be an error.
