• Notes

  I believe that contrary to other name spellings, such as Esther or Ester, that her name was Hester. This is in accordance to Plymouth Colony Records and I have changed it back to Hester, as such. And, I further conclude, that she and Edward may possibly have been married in Braintree, MA. This may lead me to find out her last name. A possibility of Hester's last name is found on Sons of the American Revolution application No. 59359 for Maurice Arthur Hall dated 3 Oct 1940. (Research):January 10, 1998 - I have just been sent a glimmer of hope that actually makes some sort of sense as to the maiden name of Hester. I was sent a record by Linda Taylor, a cousin on the Eliphalet Gay line who married Dorothy Hall, daughter of Andrew, son of Edward that Hester's maiden name may very well be Gove. If that is the case, Hester Gove was born 1604 in England. I will need to secure some records from the Henbury, Gloucestershire, England area to research a marriage there. It is also possible that her maiden could have been Dove, and the possibility exists that she was a niece of Joan Dove who came to America 1630 with her husband, John Hall. John Hall was of Whiatchapel, London, England. Joan Dove was of Bethnal Green, Stepney, England. They were married 1618.
