Notes

!SOURCE: Email from Kent Watkins (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 6 Sep 2013. Regarding this individual, he writes (citing Wayne Tillinghast's monograph on the Tillinghast family):

• Wayne T. (p. 1) is not sure if Elder Pardon T.'s first wife's first name is Sarah or Mary. He leaves it blank, although notes that Sarah might be a possibility, given a couple of other sources. And the first daughter was named Sarah (b. Providence 17 Nov. 1654, d. 1671 at about age seventeen, unmarried (9). You do not list Sarah the daughter at all (this came from John Gifford Tillinghast, The Founder of the Tillinghast Family, [note 1] 17). You are willing to accept Pardon's wife as being named Sarah, apparently based on the email from N. Combs.
• You give Sarah Butterworth, Pardon's wife, as being born in 1630, whereas two other Tillinghast historians are quoted in Wayne T's book (1) as 1623, while Rose Tillinghast gives it as 1633. Wayne T. leaves it undecided. You also give her death as 1661, although the date of 1660 is given in the aforementioned historians' accounts (FIHSL typescripts, 1923 and 1944). Not a biggie there. Wayne T. isn't sure of a death date, other than before his second marriage to Lydia Taber in Newport. You also fill in the blank of Wayne T.'s as to her mother's maiden name, Mary Lanbotham. You also supply 'new' information that she and Pardon were married in Swansea, Bristol, Massachuetts. I wonder why there? Wayne T. doesn't have a marriage location.

  I see in an unrelated record from yours (viz. Sampson Mason/Mary Butterworth in ancestry.com ) that a Mary Butterworth, the daughter of Henry B. and Mary L. B., was born at Halifax, Yorkshire, England, and died at Rehoboth, Bristol Col, Ma., but she is documented there to have married Sampson Mason, not Pardon Tillinghast! And their son was Samuel Mason of Swansea who married Lydia Masters Taber Tillinghast, after Pardon died, and after his first wife, Elizabeth Miller died. I wonder if the placement of Henry B. and Mary L.B. is perhaps in error, as I have not seen anything yet that provides a clue as to the first name of the Butterworth woman that Pardon married, or more importantly, what family she was affiliated with. As Wayne T. pointed out, Rose T. got it confused with John Butterworth, the founder of the First Baptist Church in Swansea, Ma., but the book by Austin, Three Generations of the Butterworth Family, New England Historical Genealogical Register, makes it clea! r that this woman married William Hayward. So, we Tillinghasts are still in the dark. If you have additional evidence of that or can connect me up with N. Combs, perhaps he has fresh new evidence that will clear this up.

  Wayne T. says that she died at Newport, RI, not Rehoboth, Ma., and that further muddies the waters, because indeed her parents in the Mason documentation says that her parents, Henry and Mary died at Newport.
