• Notes

  Bethia Hawes of Milford had a natural child, b. 1658, of whose paternity she accused John Baldwin, but he was ably defended and not convicted. Bethia m. 31 October 1660 Obed Seward ... [the child named] Elizabeth m. 1April 1675 Nathaniel Potter." source: [Donald Lines Jacobus, Families of Ancient New Haven, 1931, Vol. 4, p. 945] The witnesses in the following document can all be found in Milford, CT records, and many of them were relatives of John Baldwin, and certainly neighbors of Zachariah Whitman, whose home at house lot #32 where Bethiah was living in 1658-59. Her father died when she was about 18 or 19, and her mother had died prior to that. The Whitman's were passengers on the "Truelove" which sailed from London on 20 Sep 1635 and included the Richard Hawes family. [2]
