Notes


Savage, First Settlers of NE V2, Compiler: James Savage, (Little, Brown and Company (1860)), p. 406 "Herring, Thomas, Dedham, a freeman 1654, is otherwise unknown because his wife Mary, daughter of Robert Pierce, was, by misreading of the name, '''given to Thomas Haven of Dedham, when there was no such person'''.".

"Robert and Ann’s daughter Mary had married Thomas Hearring about 1650, and Robert gave her a dowry at that time. In his will he left her an additional twenty pounds, and he also bequeathed ten pounds to be divided equally among Mary’s five children. "
