    • Notes: 
    • Tryphena Marston's given name is also seen as Triphena.

      The parents of Tryphena are often confused between her older half-brother and her father. She is often said to be the daughter of William Marston and Rebecca Page, but this William is actually her much older half brother. Her parents were William Marston and his second wife Sabrina Page. Her half-brother William is the son of her father William's unknown first wife. The relationships are clearly stated in the 1672 will of William Marston Sr.
