Disputed origins

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Haines-3434

Margaret S. Leeds was not his wife. I found no evidence whatsoever of her maiden name in my extensive research in England where they would have married. Richard's 1639 birthdate is incorrect, as I found his birth to be 20 March 1635 at Swerford. Also, his son John, whose actual birth I also found, did not have the middle initial B. See my book, WHO WAS RICHARD HAINES the Quaker emigrant who died at Sea in 1682? Donna D. (Haines-2106)

Life

From Carissa Hill:

Thing is that I am sure my "lost" book would have info on John Borton Jr's first wife. there was so much info about their whole journey here to America that I cant find on the web

Like how Margaret after giving birth to Joseph and landing in America was sick and almost died. I can't find that anywhere. Can't even really find how hard their journey was on the ship most places just say blown off course and that journeys were hard back then but this one was particularly bad because it was blown off course soon after leaving the port and so it was amazing that the ship was able to land where it did which as you point out is not far from where it was headed.

But the voyage was sad, for Richard would have survived.
