Notes

From http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Paule-8

At some point in time, a 1588 marriage record in Stoke Abott, Dorset, England was misread as one Robert Paul Dolliver marrying Elizabeth (various maiden names have been offered). And that this couple was then the parents of the emigrating Dolliver siblings-- Tristram, Joan, Samuel and Susanna who arrived in Massachusetts in the 1630s.

The CORRECT reading of this marriage record is that one Robert PAULE married Elizabeth DALLIBER on this date.[1]

Additionally this same "Robert Paul Dolliver" was said to be born/christened 21 August 1569. However, the person born on that date was one John Dolliver, son of John.

There was never a Robert Paul Dolliver.
