Defect 1
Perhaps not a defect but ambiguity. Savage seems to write of one or two daughters Mary married to Joseph Tayntor and Henry Curtis. (see their pages for more). Not sure of the truth. Perhaps Person:Mary Guy (10) is really Mary Taintor - daughter of Joseph Tayntor and Mary Guy?
- TAG, "The Daughters of Simon1 Eire of Watertown and Boston, Mass." by Robert Charles Anderson, p. 65:21-23, suggests that Nicholas Guy had no daughter named Mary. Nicholas' wife Jane Guy left a will naming her daughter Mary wife of Henry Curtis, but as the birth of son Ephraim in 1642 would place her birth about 1620, it clearly would predate Nicholas' 1629 marriage to Jane Tainter, leading to the conclusion that Mary is really Mary Tainter, Jane's daughter by her first husband, despite being named Mary Guy in the passenger list of the Confidence in 1638 (here).
- Note: the passenger list does list Mary Guy, presumably a daughter, so it does not really seem a defect the way Savage stated it. In fact the way things are worded, Savage tip toes around making any mis-statements, except in presuming that Jane meant son-in-law instead of son for Joseph Tainter. Both Joseph Taintor and Mary wife of Henry Curtis appear to be children of the wife Jane by a first marriage with Mr. Tainter. Presumably she was called Mary Guy on the passenger list by an understandable clerical error, being a young lady traveling with her mother and father[-in-law]. Joseph Tainter being a son-in-law to Nicholas Guy by virtue of his mother marrying Nicholas, might well call him father Gyes, as he does in his will, without meaning he married a daughter of Nicholas. On top of that, there appears to have been no daughter Mary Guy. Thus Joseph Tainter's wife Mary is of unknown maiden name. --Jrich 00:22, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
