    3. Beverly, Here is what I have. "Wm. Markham b. in England about 1621. Had land in Middleton, CT. about 1650. Married about 1654 Priscilla Graves, daughter of George Graves. Lived at Hartford 1659, then Hadley, Mass. Married second wife, Elizabeth Webster, (daughter of Gov. John Webster?) Wm. died in 1689 or 1690." The above is in my mother-in-law's handwriting. Aunt Mary's original notes -- very hard to read -- add "See Hartford Courant, 9/2/1942 and Hadley Genealogy, p. 92, ch. by Priscilla, inc." The next bit doesn't make sense to me because of the abbreviations but I think she was saying that Priscille had previously been married to Th. Hale or Heald at Enfield, CT 11/18/167? Then she says, Ch. of Wm. and Eliz. inc(lude?) Lydia who married Timothy Eastman (son of Roger?), John,7/3/1661,d 9/12/1664, Mercy b 9/22/1663 & Daniel b 11/3/1669, D. 11/3/1669. This seems to imply that Elizabeth Webster, not Priscilla Graves, was Daniel's mother, although Aunt Mary told me that Priscilla was Daniel's mother when my daughter had a genealogy assignment in 4th grade. (The daughter is now 40 so that was a long time ago.) I'm also going to post this to the list in the hope that someone can straighten it all out. Marion Markham
