BAULSTON William William (-1679?, ae 78) & 1-wf Elizabeth _____ by 1630 Boston-Portsmouth, RI {Throckmorton 55 Sv. 1:109 Brady Anc. 154 ?Austin: GDRI 16}

"MARRIAGE: By 1630 (and by 1628 if she was the mother of the eldest child) Elizabeth _____, who was named in his will of 11 March 1677-8. (There is the possibility that William Baulston had two wives named Elizabeth. In the record of admission to Boston church of Elizabeth, the wife of William Baulston, in 1630 there is the annotation next to her name "dead since." It is unlikely that the clerk of the Boston church was making such notations in 1678 of persons who had left Boston forty years earlier. Most of these annotations appear to have been made by the 1650s, so William Baulston's wife Elizabeth may have died while they were still living in Boston, and he remarried to a woman with the same given name.)
