That Mary Barstow was a daughter of William is proved by a deed made by her brother, Joseph Barstow, confirming an act of his father William in conveying property to his (William's) son-in-law Joseph Sylvester (Reg 85:261) (The William Barstow Family by Arthur Hitchcock Radasch; South Yarmouth, Massachusetts; 1964; CS71.B313 1964 CSL)
