Helen Livingston

HELEN LIVINGSTON

Fasti of the Church of Scotland IV: 291

Notes

Gordon L. Remington, "The Duncanson Wives of Four New Netherland Settlers: Glen, Teller, Powell, and Loockermans," RECOlill 128 (1997): 1-10,228. Thomas Powell was also married afterwards to a fifth sister, Janet Duncanson. Although Remington cautiously qualified Mary as a "possible" and Anne as a "probable" member of this family, the indirect evidence he presented that they were sisters of the others is compelling, particularly the fact that Anne's marriage intention describes her as from "Sterling," accom- panied by a sister "[annetie." Furthermore, Burke (note 8 below) shows that the Rev. James Duncanson and Helen Livingston were married many years earlier than the extant baptismal records at Alloa suggest, and that Helen had ten children alive in 1633.
