MARSTON; ENG>Salem, MA,USA; 1615-1788 I am researching the family of Hannah MARSTON. She was born circa 1712 to James and Elizabeth MARSTON in Salem, MA. She married John PUNCHARD in Salem, MA on 22 Oct 1730. They had 10 children and Hannah MARSTON died 10 Nov 1788. Hannah's father James was born between 1662 and 1665 in Salem, MA. His father was John MARSTON, but there is some debate as to whether there were two separate John MARSTONs in Salem, MA around that time. One John MARSTON was born in 1615 and came from Ormesby, town of Yarmouth, Norfolk Co., England to Salem, MA in 1637. He married Alice EDEN on 4 Aug 1640, was a carpenter, had 10 children, and died 18 Dec 1681. The other John MARSTON was supposedly a mariner and almost nothing is known about him, making it difficult to know whether there were actually two different men by that name and, if so, which of the two is my ancestor. If you have any information which would help me to shed light on this, I would greatly appreciate the help. Please send e-mail to BarbPretz@aol.com. Thanks for your help! Barb
