Notes

From Wakefield: Rebecka Stanford m. Plymouth 24 Nov. 1713 Jonathan Ames (or Eames) (MD 14:37) and Lydia Stanford m. Duxbury 4 Feb.1713/4 Andrew Alden. If Robert Stanford's first wife Mary Howland was 18 when she married Timothy Williamson, she would have been 45 when she married Robert Stanford and probably too old to have children. Also the name Rebecca suggests that she was named for Rebecca. It is possible Lydia is the child he had by Lydia Hanmore, but Lydia (Stanford) Alden's last child was born 21 Oct. 1731, strongly suggesting she was too old to have been that child. No other Stanford family appears in this area at this time.
