Okay, since I can't get to my own database from here, I just googled it. Here is one website that says that Isaac Page married Damaris Shattuck, dau of Samuel Shattuck and Damaris Sibley. I haven't seen this particular page before, seems what I found was more of a real resource....I'm staying in VA for another week now, so won't be home until the first of next month, but I am going to try to get to a good pc and email my database to myself so I can look at it and work on it from here. Thanks, Carolyn http://www.geocities.com/ronaldivanfuller/HTML/fam02383.htm here's another that shows how she goes down into my line with Henry White in NC... http://www.quakersurnames.net/page.html -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Mary Lemay <[email protected]> > I have a Samuel Shattuck in my line b. in England.

We need to be aware and suspicious of the misinformation on the web regarding "Samuel" and "Sibley." The available resources do not tell us the first name of Mr. Shattuck. Samuel is a possibility, of course, as that name is carried down through generations. And, William is a specualtion by Lemuel Shattuck. But, there are no contemporary records providing that information. "Memorials of the Descendants of William Shattuck", Appendix Lemuel Shattuck, Boston, MA, 1855, p. 57 "Similarly, this Samuel Shattuck - Damaris Sibley marriage should be treated as speculative. The extreme old age of this Samuel Shattuck is also highly suspicious. " The best we can know at this point is the following: "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" Clarence A. Torrey, Baltimore, MD, 1985 p. 664 "SHATTUCK, ? & Damaris ? (-1674), m/2 Thomas GARDNER; in Eng, b 1620; Salem" > Here is one website that says that Isaac Page married >Damaris Shattuck, > dau of Samuel Shattuck and Damaris >Sibley.
