Notes:

[NEHGS-1871b] does not actually state that Sabra Doane (Pierce) Cole and Seth N Covell were married in Wellfleet, Barnstable County. But since they were both residents of Wellfleet at the time and their marriage was registered in Wellfleet, it seems likely that they married there.

Notes:

Note the spelling change for the surname of the children of Solomon Peirce and Keziah Doane.

Solomon married Keziah Doane on 18 Apr 1799 in Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. Keziah (daughter of Azariah Doane and Molly Linnell) was born on 2 Oct 1785 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States; was christened on 8 Apr 1787 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States; died in ? in (unknown). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

LDS-IGI incorrectly lists Keziah’s birth at Orleans, Barnstable County, Massachusetts.

Samuel married Mercy Peirce before 1769 in (unknown). Mercy was born in ? in (unknown); died in ? in (unknown). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

“Peirce” is Mercy’s married name. Her maiden name is not known but may have been “Ryder” or “Rider,” according to LDS IGI sources.

Notes:

LDS International Genealogical Index (IGI) lists 3 other children of Samuel Peirce and Mercy Ryder. These are Molly Pierce (b. abt 1780), Lucy Pierce (b. abt 1782), and Elizabeth Pierce (b. abt 1784). IGI lists no source information for these individuals and none of the Wellfleet vital record collections has no record of these three girls.

Azariah married Molly Linnell on 30 Dec 1784 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. Molly (daughter of Jonathan Linnell and Priscilla Gould) was born on 28 Feb 1759 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay; died in ?. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The surname of Azariah Doane’s wife, as listed in [Holbrook-1987c] is very hard to read. It may be “Polly Lannel” or “Polly Linnel”. However in [Holbrook-1987b], all of the children are listed as being born to “Azariah and Molly Doane”. For this reason, and because the only Linnell birth reference currently available in the Eastham area, is that of “Molly Linnell” the daughter of Jonathan Linnell and Priscilla Gould, the name “Molly Linnell” is used in this database.

Joshua married Betty Myrick on 11 Feb 1739 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay. Betty was born in ?; died in ?. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jonathan Linnell was a resident of Eastham, Barnstable County at the time of his marriage to Priscilla Gould.

[Austin-1995a] does not list Jonathan Linnell’s birthplace but does note that his birth was recorded in Eastham records. The use of “Eastham, Barnstable County” is an assumption based on his father being resident of Eastham and his own marriage in Eastham.

Jonathan married Priscilla Gould on 9 Jan 1753 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay. Priscilla (daughter of Nathanial Gould and Grace Hurd) was born on 11 Apr 1731 in Harwich, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay; died in ?. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

[Holbrook-1987d] does not actually list Harwich as Priscilla Gould’s birthplace. This is an assumption based on her parent’s marriage and her marriage intention both being registered in Harwich. In addition, she was a resident of Harwich at the time of her marriage to Jonathan Linnell.

Notes:

Jonathan Linnell and Priscilla Gould entered their intention to marry in the Harwich town records, 30 Nov 1751. Sources that list this date as the marriage date are probably incorrect despite the fact that no supporting evidence has been found for the 9 Jan 1753 marriage date listed in LDS IGI.

To date, searches of Eastham and Harwich vital records have turned up no supporting evidence for the birth dates and locations of the children (with the exception of Benjamin). Furthermore, the LDS-IGI dates should be treated as suspect since only three (Thankful, Molly, and Fabas) claim to be derived from vital records, and Benjamin, the one child known to have been born in Eastham, is listed as derived from an LDS Patron Sheet. Additional research is required, especially in the Eastham records in [Holbrook,1997b], due to the poor condition of the records.
