Magdalene Bullard

John Bullard's first wife Magdalene Martyn was born 29 Jan 1607 in Barnham, Suffolk, England.  She was Anne’s sister and her parents were John MARTYN and Agnes [__?__].  Alternatively, her maiden was George. Magdalene died 29 Jan 1661 in Medfield, Norfolk, Mass.

Given the rarity of the name, it has been argued that Magdalene may have been Anne Martyn's sister Magdalene. However, the name may not have been uncommon at that time and in that place.

'Magdalen [Martyn], b. say 1608; living unmarried 28 Dec. 1629 [according to her father's will]. Given the rarity of her given name, she may be the Magdalene who, with husband John Bullard (Buller), ... had a son buried and a daughter baptized at Barnham in October 1635. ...'

↑ message 550, posted 24 Aug 1999 by Nancy Gittens, in Bullard Family Genealogy Forum. '... I seem to have become a crusader to correct a misreading of a chart in Bullard and Allied Familes. John Bullard, son of William Buller and Grace Bignett, was married to Magdalen Martyn, not Magdalene George. "Magdalene George" appears to be a fictitious person created by the running together of Magdalen and her brother-in-law George's name on a chart.'

The chart referenced is on page 11 of Bullard and Allied Families. The name of John's brother George is shown immediately beside the name of John's wife Magdalen, with a single space in between. It is easy to misread this as a single name, "Magdalen George".
