Notes:

Savage 3:8 says of him:
"Ephraim, Scituate, prob. s. of the preced. b. in Eng. m 28 Jan 1646, Joanna Rawlins, d. of Thomas, had Joanna, b. 29 Sept. 1647; Patience, 2 Oct. 1648, d. soon; Ephraim, 1 Oct. 1649; Manasseh, 1 Jan 1652; and d. 1655. His wid. d. 31 Mar. next yr. Deane, 299, is deficient in dates."

Info on Ephraim and his family is in "Seeing Double: The Children of Ephraim2 and Joanna (Rawlings) Kempton" by Dean Crawford Smith and Meline Lutz Sanborn, New England Historical and Genealogical Register 148:342-344. That source gives his father as Ephraim-1, gives marriage, untangles duplicate conflicting records regarding actual children and their birth/baptism dates, etc. It does not elaborate on the birth of either Ephraim or Joanna.

Original sources for family records: Scituate Vital Records 1:49,54-59, NEHGR 57(1903):82-5 "Records of the Second Church of Sciutate".

For an account of Ephraim2, see "The American Genealogist 67(1992):132-4 and the forthcoming Ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton Vol.1.

m: James Dean

Notes:

!Marriage(2:Dean): Barbara Lewis Williams p.100. (info appears to have come from Bucksport VR )

Her birth record might be one of the following (I think the third is the most likely):
1. "Thankful attwood the daugter of Christopher & Susannah attwood was born
Eastham November 25, 1760" [Eastham & Orleans VR, Mayf.Des.16:198].
Note: Other siblings include: Samuel, Joseph, Christopher, Hannah,
Gideon, and Susannah.
2. "thankful Atwood the Dafter of James and mercy Atwood was born in Eastham
Aprel 16: 1741" [Eastham & Orleans VR, in Mayf.Des. 15:74] 3. Thankful Atwood, dau. of William Atwood and Bathshuah Smith. The will of
Samuel Smith, of Wellfleet, dated 18 April 1768, and proved 11 Oct 1768,
mentioned "heirs of dau. Bathsheba Atwood, viz. Abigail, Martha, John,
William, Bathsheba, Thankful, Anna, and Zoheth.". [RIN = 14846]
Note that there is already a family connection to this one, making it
that much more likely -- Thankful's husband's aunt married this William
Atwood, making her a step-mother to this Thankful.

She is mentioned in the will of her grandfather, Samuel Smith of Wellfleet, as an heir of dau. Bathsheba Atwood, dated 18 April 1786, proved 11 Oct 1786.

Candidates:
1. David Crooel/Crowell of Chatham and Thankful Atwood of Eastham int. 8 Aug 1759 in Eastham [MD ?:8].

Notes:

In 1668, be became an inhabitant of Succonessit (Falmouth). He received lands at Woods Hole , Little Harbor in 1677: "to be assigned equally to every purchaser according to his proportion; beginning at the south end of the Little Neck and running W. by N. to the Great Harbor. Parallel to this were twelve other strips of land, averaging about 7 rods in width, numbered from 1 to 13, all assigned as follows: viz., to Moses Rowley, Sr., Joseph Hull, Thos. Griffin, John Robinson, Sam'l Tilly, Nathaniel Skiff, Thomas Johnson, William Gifford, Thomas Lewis, John Jenkins, Jonathan Hatch Sr., William Weeks, and Thomas Ewer. There were land laid out 10 acres to a share, in Great Neck, to the same individuals." from [Freeman] & [B.L.Williams 11-12].

"At a meeting of the proprietors of the lands at Suckanesset (Falmouth) March 19 [1700], the proprietors, by vote, made choice of Thomas Lewis to be their clerk. Thomas Lewis was an expert chirographer, a systematic registrar, and had probably long acted in the capacity which the record of this last year of the century assigns him."

Karl Natale says the identification of her mother is uncertain, since the relevant marriage dates for Thomas Prence's are unknown. The Great Migration by Anderson suggests that she was the daughter of his third wife, Appia (Quick)(Freeman) Prence.

Notes:

He came to New England in 1634 in the company of his brother-in-law, Major Simon Willard. I n 1635, he was one of the first settlers of Cambridge. He moved quite frequently, being in Concord, Duxbury, Scituate, Barnstable, and Groton. Dolar was a carpenter and a master builder; this is probably why he was moving so much, living where his trade provided the employment.

In his will, Dolar left "to my son-in-law, Lewis, ... and to my daughter, Mary, his wife..." [B.L.Williams p.11]

m: Thomas Prence (1600/1601-29 MAR 1673)

Notes:

She was the fourth wife of Gov. Prence.
!Death: Mayf.Des.24:129-30: Mrs. Mary Prence: "His fourth wife, Mary (--)(Howes) Prence, survived him, & died Yarmouth Mass: "miss Mary Prince late wife of governor Thomas Prince died upon the Ninth day of desember: 1695 and was Buried upon the leventh daye of ye said: 1695"

Note: (my conjecture): She may have been a sister to Thomas Clarke. In [MD 9:206], Thomas Prence mentions his "brother Thomas Clarke" in his will, and requests T.C. to watch after his wife after his death.

Extensive articles in MD 6:157-165 and MD 6:230-5 show "incontestably" that she was Mrs. Mary (----) Howes, the widow of Thomas1 Howes of Yarmouth. The proof of this is to be found in the will of Captain Thomas-2 Howes and the will and inventory of his father Thomas-1 Howes. Thomas-1 gave his son Thomas-2 the homestead, then in Thomas-2's will he stated: "Be it alsoe Knowne that my will is that my Mother Prence Injoy without molestation During her Naturall life the house shee Now lives in", etc. This was actually his step-mother.

!Inventory: 23 Dec 1695 Yarmouth. Printed in MD 6:234-5.

!Death: Savage 2:478 is in error.

http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~church gives her maiden name as "Burr". I don't know the basis for this yet. Several others have repeated this.

Probably comes from Barnstable England.
