Individual Notes
• Desire Gorham, daughter of Capt. John Gorham,* married Oct. 7, 1661, Capt. John Hawes of Yarmouth. He was a son of Mr. Edmond Hawes, called a cutler, who came from London in 1635. She resided in Yarmouth, and died in that town June 30, 1700, aged 56 years. She has a numerous prosperity. All of the name of Hawes in this County [Barnstable] are her descendants.
*Freeman, page 273, says she married Samuel Hinckley. He is mistaken. The Barnstable and the Yarmouth records give the facts as I have stated them. Samuel Hinckley, the second of the name, married 14 Dec 1664, Mary Goodspeed, she died 20 Dec 1666, and he married 15 Jan 1669, Mary Fitzrandolphe. He also says that Mercy Gorham “married 2d, Geo. Dennison.” I find no authority for this statement. If Geo. Dennison was her second husband, her first marriage must have been consummated in very early life. [14, p 414]
• First grandchild of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. [3372]
