[Review of a book, possibly by John Insley Coddington (this one has no attribution, but an earlier one does).] "...second wife [of Thomas Gardner] Damaris Shattuck is given a husband Samuel Shattuck who died on the voyage. We should like to know the evidence for his first name and death."
↑ McCracken, George E. "The Salem Gardners: Comments and Clues", in The American Genealogist (TAG). (Donald Lines Jacobus, et.al.) 30:156, 168.
"Damaris was the Widdow Shattock who joined First Church, Salem, 2 Jul 1641." [so husband dead by then] "...it is probable that he never came to America and that his widow Damaris crossed the Atlantic with her children."
