  • Notes: 

  • The transcription of Sarah Walker's marriage in the Raynham, Massachusetts, vital records has her maiden name spelled as Salker instead of Walker. However, she is mentioned in her father's will which confirms the correct name of Walker. A further error occurs in the online indexing of the transcription where Salker is incorrectly indexed as Tucker.
