Notes

There is some confusion as to whether he died in Apr 1729 or 1728. If his gravestone is to be believed then he died before he married Tamerron (or Tamezon as his gravestone reads). It appears William did not have any children by Mary Allen or Tamerron Simmons.

Mary Wellman Howard had 5 children by her first husband, Thomas Howard:

• Mary (born Dec 1667)
• Sarah (born Feb 1669)
• Martha (born Feb 1672 and died about one month after)
• Thomas (born Mar 1673 and died in childhood)
• Benjamin (born Jun 1675)

General Notes: Children by Allen: John, Joshua, Gideon, Miriam, Yelverton, Samuel, George, Eleazer and Sarah.
