  • Notes: 

  • In Robert Charles Anderson's book The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633 Vol. 3, he makes a mistake and lists Andrew Ward as the husband of Esther Wakeman on page 1901. However in the same volume in the profile for Andrew Warner on pages 1928 to 1932 he correctly lists Esther Wakeman as his wife.

    Esther Wakeman's given name is also seen as Hester.
