Disambiguation

This should be the profile of Joane Harris of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England daughter of Henry Harris and Johan Austin who died after 25 DEC 1637 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts. She is often confused with Anne (Unknown) Palgrave who died 17 MAR 1668 in Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts. Her parents and origins are unknown. She probably came from the area near Barnham Broom, Norfolk, England per the latest research published in 2016. There is no evidence that her maiden name was Harris or Cook. Both women married men named Richard Palgrave. Joane Harris married second to Rev John Young minister of St Margrett's Suffolk, England and they brought their daughter to Salem. Anne (Unknown) Palgrave only married once and brought her surviving children to Cambridge, MA.

Please don't confuse Richard Palgrave of Great Yarmouth with Dr. Richard Palgrave of Barnham Broom and Charlestown. Richard Palgrave of Great Yarmouth (1697-1630) married Joane (Harris) [Palgrave] Young (1601-1637) and had one daughter Ann who married Nicholas Woodbury. His widow and daughter moved to Salem (See Mary Walton Ferris, Dawes-Gates ancestral lines : a memorial volume containing the American ancestry of Rufus R. Dawes, (1931-1943), Vol 2 p 621-623, Palgrave. Dr. Richard Palgrave of Barnham Broom and Charlestown (1593-1651) married Ann (Unknown) (1594-1668) and moved to Charlestown, MA and had 10 children. See Robert C Anderson, The Winthrop Fleet (Boston, MA: NEHGS 2012) p 510-515 which includes and updated list of children as well as Douglas Richardson, Royal Ancestry (Salt Lake City: 2016) Vol. I p 511-513 and ary Boyd Roberts.
