I find no record of this marriage at Rehoboth or in PCR. There were children born to "Paull Holley" in Rehoboth beginning 17-Jan-1695/96 [Rehoboth VR 637], but nothing in the town's vital records names his wife. However, the records of Newman Congregational Church (which at that time was in Rehoboth) show those same children of "Paul Healey" as having been baptized there, beginning with the seven eldest along with "Elizabeth, wife of Paul" on 22-Jan-1703/04 [Arnold's RI VR 9:507]. I see no contemporary record that would establish Elizabeth's maiden name. Dale H. Cook, Member, NEHGS and MA Society of Mayflower Descendants; Plymouth Co.

Thank you Dale I appreciate your looking - maybe they married in Cambridge before the Healeys relocated... And thank you so much for all of the information.. I had a feeling Elizabeth may have come from Hampshire England, rather than NH, since her parents seeming were from England to the cape area. I appreciate as always all the info you supply us! faye -----Original Message----- From: genmassachusetts-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:genmassachusetts-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dale H.
