Had Handall children in Germany, emigrated to Ohio, relocated to Indiana, then Illinois.

Possibly Elizabeth [Oliver?] of Boston.

<i>Genealogies of Rhode Island Families From The New England Historical and Genealogical Record"</i>:
"Mary Chase, the wife of William Chase, she had a paralitik humor which fell into her back bone, so yet she could not stir her body, but as she was lifted, and filled her with great torture, & caused her back bone to goe out of joynt, and bunch out from the beginning to the end of wch infirmity she lay 4 years and a halfe, & a great pt of the time a sad spectakle of misery: But it pleased God to raise her againe, and she bore children after it." [Roxbury Church Records p.75].

Francis Eaton received four acres under the <i>Mayflower</i> heading in the 1623 Division of Land: one for himself, one for his wife Sarah, and one for his son Samuel. But what about the fourth acre?

William Bradford recorded in John Carver's family that Carver had brought a maidservant, but does not name her. Bradford later writes "His maid servant married, and dyed a year or two after here in this place". Her name, and her husband were not mentioned. Carver's maidservant was the only female passenger who could have possibly married Francis Eaton, and it was her acre that explains why Francis Eaton had four acres in the 1623 Division of Land.

Charles Edward Banks discovered a document in England, dated 1626, that mentions Francis Eaton, carpenter, and his wife Dorothy, in New England. In 1997, Neil. D. Thompson, FASG, was able to document that the Francis Eaton mentioned in this document was the same Francis Eaton who came on the <i>Mayflower</i>. Since Francis' first wife was named Sarah, and his third wife was named Christian, we can therefore determine that Carver's maidservant, who heretofore has been without a name, was actually named Dorothy.

Perhaps Amy KINGSBURY.

It would seem probable that Rose Gates was a widow who brought a family of sons to Hingham before 1622. Gates entries in the parish records of Hingham begin with the marriage of Thomas Gates and Merget Mylnye 24 June 1622.
