Research Notes

Stetson Kindred Genealogical Index: 1-1-1-3.

A. Bathsheba's Family Tree page on FamilySearch.org [7] lists an additional marriage to Shubael Barlow without any sources. They also list 4 children born to the couple. The Stetson Kindred does not record this marriage in their Genealogy, [3] and there are notes on the FamilySearch.org page [8] that suggest that there were two Bathsheba Stetsons in Scituate at this time. This Bathsheba's marriage is recorded here.
B. Samuel Gardener is also listed by FamilySearch.org as Samuel Gardner, Jr. Some of the documents on his record there also shows the family name as "Garner" [9] His First wife was Lydia Oldham, 2 Jul 1707. [10]
