    Notes:

    Memo:
    WIlliam Witter's wife also appears with the Christian name,
    Annis, probably a form of Anna or Hannah. Her maiden name
    is said to have been Churchman. and it has been thought that she
    was a daughter of Hugh Churchman, an early settler of Lynn,
    Massachusetts. A well-known authority on early New England .
    genealogy states that Hugh Churchman of Lynn, 1640, died in
    1644, that his will was probated July 9, of that year, and that
    Ann Churchman, perhaps his daughter, married John Rogers
    on April 16, 1639, at Weymouth. In Hugh Churchman's will
    he mentions Josias, son of William Witter, leaving the latter his
    homestead in Lynn, which, on William Witter's death, is to pass
    to Josias Witter. (Josias was often used interchangeably with
    Josiah in old records.) It may be that the wife of William
    Witter was a sister of Hugh Churchman instead of his daughter.
    Hugh Churchman's will, from the Essex Court files, is here
    given in abstract in the quaint old orthography of the original
    document: "I Hugh Churchman of Len do make this my last
    will ... first my howse and Lot in Len ... and aU other appurtenances
    there unto belonging to wilyam Wenter (sic.) tel his
    son Josias shae atayn the age of twenty one years and then to
    his son Josias and his Ayeres for ever; with this condicon that...
    he shale paye to his sister haimah winter (sic.) ten pounds within
    one hole ?year ... And if Josiah and hannah shall both dy before
    they shale atayen the age of twenty one yeres that then William
    Winter or his now wif or the longer liver of them to have it ..."
    He makes William Witter his Executor.
