Research notes
This profile originally stated death was after 1659 at Pawtucket, Providence County, Rhode Island.[4] GM does not give any death info for Christian. There is a land related court record for her husband in 27 April 1659, but as its related to acquiring land there doesn't seem to be any reason why she would be mentioned. GM Directory only lists William's profile and Search for the passengers of the Mary & John, 1630 which isn't online. Cole-12288 23:52, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
