  • Notes 
    • The Great Migration Begins, (NEHGS), vol 2, page 1350:

      "Various genealogists have claimed that John Odlin's daughter Hannah was Anne, the wife of Jeremiah Clarke of Newport {Clarke-Dungan 51: Noyes-Gilman 105; NEHGR 74:134; TAG 26:228}. No evidence for this is given, but these authors were apparently persuaded to make this guess on the basis of the presence in Newport of John Odlin's son John, and the use by Jeremiah's son Samuel of the unusual given name of Audley when naming one of his sons. This is certainly not sufficient to displace Jeremiah Bumstead as the husband of Hannah Odlin. (Noyes-Gilman also claims that Hannah married Jonathan Davol (Noyes-Gilman 105), which has even less validity than the Jeremiah Clarke claim, and which has been refuted by Leo H. Garman (TAG 65:148).
