Notes

Zachariah Brackett was son of Anthony Brackett ‎(who was killed by Indians on his farm at Back Cove, in 1689)‎, by his second wife, Susannah Drake, who was a daughter of Abraham Drake of Hampton. After the death of his first wife, he married an Irish woman named Mary Ross in 1711 [SIC: 1741], who caused much trouble in the family and probably drove him back to Hampton. He had got to be an old man.

BRACKETT'S MARRIAGE CONTRACT 221

A dispute arose between the children of the two marriages respecting
this property; one claimed it by virtue of the jointure, while the
other contended that it belonged to their mother, and consequently that their father had not power to alienate or entail it. It was finally adjusted by an amicable division.
