Margaret, According to the Plympton VR:391, Zaccheus Sherman married Jane Bradford in 1818, not Jane Standish. If the Alden Kindred website gives her surname as Standish, it must be a typo. Susan E. Roser www.friendsofthepilgrims.com www.rootsweb.com/~canms/canada.html -----Original Message----- From: mayflower-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mayflower-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Margaret Smith Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 7:48 PM To: mayflower@rootsweb.com Subject: [MFLR] If at first you don't succeed... try, try again! I have Jane Standish, born at Plympton, Mass., on October 24, 1797; died at Washington, D.C. February 18, 1875. Married to Israel Heald at Sumner, ME, April 16, 1816. Israel Heald, born at Sumner, ME January 22, 1793; died at Lincoln, ME, March 28, 1882. Jane is supposed to be the daughter of Mary (Polly) Bradford (Eunice Loring Bradford, Bathsheba Bass Loring, Jonathan Bass, Samuel Bass, Ruth Alden Bass, John Alden) and Ellis Standish (Shadrach, Ebenezer, Zachariah, Ebenezer, Alexander, Myles). Jane and Israel were the parents of twelve children, one of whom was my Great Grandmother Augusta Sawyer Heald Smith, in whose home she passed away. My Great-Aunt Margaret Smith Davis (Augusta's daughter) joined the Mayflower Society on this heritage. However, the Alden Kindred website has the same Jane married to Capt. Zaccheus Sherman on December 6. 1818 at Plympton. Who has the wrong Jane Standish? I know there were at least two Janes, as well as two Shadrachs and two Ebenezers in the Standish line. (The Alden website is not to be taken as gospel, according to their disclaimer.) Has anyone else come across these people? Thanks!
