GEDCOM Note

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~villandra/mckinstryp/1291.... There is a theory that she was the widow of John or Abraham Harding, and the daughter of Henry Adams, son of Henry Adams and Edith Squire from Charlton Mackrell, England. I was not able to find any sources for this theory, but I found various versions of it widely mentioned.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~villandra/mckinstryp/1469.... John HARDING Marriage (1): Hannah WOOD on 26 Nov 1665 Marriage (2): Elizabeth ADAMS on 16 Dec 1668 General Notes: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mjbadams&id=I5790.... Braun genealogy by Marla Adams mjbadams@yahoo.com is source for the following - and only reason I have to believe it, other than that the fact that this marriage is right next to that of Henry Adams and Elizabeth Paine in the ahnetafel makes it not unlikely that the two families were closely associated.Marla has Elizabeth Harding who married John Frary, the widow of Abraham Hardy, and daughter of Henry Adams and Elizabeth Paine. Their daughter Elizabeth did marry Abraham Hardy. My Adams information has nothing on it. John married Hannah WOOD, daughter of Nicholas WOOD and Dorothy, on 26 Nov 1665. (Hannah WOOD was born in 1637 and died on 23 Feb 1677 in Medford, Middlesex Co, Massachusetts.) John next married Elizabeth ADAMS, daughter of Henry ADAMS Lt and Elizabeth PAINE, on 16 Dec 1668. (Elizabeth ADAMS was born on 11 Dec 1649 in Braintree, Middlesex, Mass. and died on 1 Aug 1727 in Medfield, Norfolk, Mass..)
