    • According to the private journal of Elder Peleg Burroughs of Tiverton, a Minister of the Gospel, "on the 8th day of September A. D. 1780 -- Preached at B. Hambly's upon Psalm 107:31 (O that men would praise xc) married John Manchester to M.F. and stayed all night at Bro. Davenports."

      Benjamin Hambly's wife was Elizabeth Fish, probably related to Mary (needs more research).

  • Notes 
    • I have included Freelove in this family group for three reasons: her death record identifies her parents as John & Mary; she died at Portsmouth, where Edward & William also died; and, she is included in this family on Glenn Russell's family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.

      Additionally, John Redfern's research shows that Freelove and Isaac are sister and brother, as they are buried near each other. Also, they both became church members on 22 Oct 1820 at Tiverton (see James N. Arnold's published church records).
