  • Notes: 

  • Phebe Keyes “drowned herself” in 1701.

    In some vital records, Phebe Keyes's given name is also seen as Mary. Robert Charles Anderson gives an explanation for why these records are probably for Phebe and not Mary. (See The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633, Vol. 1, pp. 1129-1130)
