Karen - I have had a copy of that article for some years, and have not yet found anyone who can counter Jacobus' arguments by presenting evidence, so I continue to side with Jacobus. There have been many allegations concerning this matter over the better part of a century, and I would simply like to see some actual sources, or at least verifiable citations of those sources, presented the Hyanno adherents. Without verifiability it is not genealogy. Dale H. Cook; Research Member, NEHGS; Member, Mass. Soc. Mayf. Desc. Plymouth Co.

So what is the stance on this, the bottom line. Does Jacobus believe Bearse married Mary Hyanno or not???? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale H.

Jacobus presents his opinion that Austin Bearse did not marry Mary Hyanno. However, since the sender of the original message seemed to be quite vehement in her rejection of Jacobus' theory, I will say no more. I have no personal stance and was just trying to provide information. Karen Sullivan Visit the Alden Kindred of America http://www.alden.org -----Original Message----- From: Craig C.

Craig - He concluded by saying "Since the alleged claims of Indian marriage and descent in the second and third generations have been exposed as false and unacceptable, we have a legitimate basis for the deduction that the statement about Austin Bearse, the first settler, is of the same unsubstantial texture."
