note
Daniel's wife Mary in his will and at Truro in 1723; that she was Mary Mulford, and the mother of each child, is inferred.

First wife of Deacon Elisha Holbrook. Her father's will (8 Nov 1754, proved 29 Jan 1755) leaves shares to "my Daughters viz Sarah the wife of Elisha Holbrook, Martha the wife of Ezekiel Holbrook, Anna the Wife of Barnabas Young, Mary the wife of Elisha Bigford." Two Holbrook brothers married two Mayo sisters: her sister Martha married Elisha's brother Ezekiel.

Mollie's typescript (pp. 18-33a) gives Elisha's wife as "Mary Mayhew, b. 22 Apr 1742, dau. of Thomas Mayhew and Mary Witherell," with Mayhew, Skiff, Newcomb and Bayes lines. That Mary Mayhew was a real Plymouth girl (MD 19:90), born the year Elisha married. She was not his wife.

She was living in 1760, when the division of her mother's estate named "Sarah Holbrook," and died before November 1771, when Elisha remarried. No stone for her or for Elisha survives in the Duck Creek cemetery at Wellfleet, though her sister Martha (Mayo) Holbrook's does: "died 7 June, 1775, aged 48 years, 5 months" (MD 11:227-229).

The Eastham marriage record itself, as Bowman printed it, reads "Elisha holebrook and Annah Mayo" (MD 20:156); the intention of 1 Apr 1742 has "Sarah May." Her sister Anna was baptized in June 1729 and so was about 13 in May 1742, so the bride must have been Sarah, and "Annah" is an error in the record or in Bowman's reading.

Open questions

  • Her death: the FamilySearch date of 16 May 1767 has no known source. The records put it between 1760 and November 1771.
  • Get the image of the original Eastham record (town book p. 142) and the intention, to settle "Annah" against Sarah.
