I don't have a copy of the Rehoboth VR at home, but will look at them the next time I go to the Family History Center where I have them on permanent loan. The manuscript by Jonathan Russell Bullock which is in the Providence RI Historical Society says that: "Samuel was twice married, first 1673, Nov 12 to Mary Thurber of Swansey,[daughter] of Samuel of Rehoboth. She died 1674, Oct 4, at the birth of her only child, Mary." The manuscript lists Daniel as a son of Samuel and his second wife, Thankful Rouse who he married in 1675. The marriage might be in the Swansea Records. -- Ginny - Pensacola, FL My Home Page http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~gdeagan FLGenWEb http://www.rootsweb.com/~flescamb/index.htm Descendants of Richard Bullock http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/2726/
