notes
- According the Great Migration project, Michael / Moyle Williams / Williamson & Ann his wife had one daughter only, born about 1637, perhaps in Massachusetts
- Her name is not certain; perhaps it was Hannah
- After Moyles’ death, Ann m. Henry Pearsall. The settlement of Henry’s estate includes a quitclaim deed signed by Timothy Halstead and the Williams sons. Thus this woman is certainly Moyles’ daughter, and Dorcas Gildersleeve "cannot be.".
- Disconnected as a daughter June 2014. Please include support if desiring to reconnect.
The individual, Dorcas Williams, has not been proven and has been disputed at length in an article in an issue of The Connecticut Nutmeggar.
