Priscilla Hovey

Possibly her parents were Rev. Dr. John Dane, Jr. & Eleanor Dane

James Hovey and Priscilla had three children born at Quaboag. Priscilla, Daniel, and James. All of whom were orphaned when their father was killed by the Indians on August 2, 1675.[4]

Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700 also indicates that James Hovey married Priscilla Warner. Torrey lists brother Daniel Hovey as having married Rebecca Dane by 1665 in Ipswich, but lists her maiden name as questionable [5].

In 1703 James' children, James of Malden, a weaver, Daniel of Ipswich, and Samuel Smith and wife Priscilla of Charlestown, sell their rights in Brookfield to Benoni Morse of Dedham, adjoining land formerly granted his father Daniel Hovey and his brother Thomas. The latter not ‘coming to reside’ in Brookfield, his lands were re-granted to John Chadwick of Watertown, who sold the same in 1687 to Peter King of Sudbury” [6]

I post the most relevant sources here, supporting my current conclusion that the wife of James Hovey was Priscilla Warner who was a member of the family of John Warner of the town then called Quaboag (now Brookfield).
