    Text (4068.) 1. NICKERSON. Among names of persons who married great-granddaughters of Mayflower passengers, I find the name William Nickerson. Seth (7) Nickerson married Sabrina Long, July 24, 1814 (Ensign 6, Absolom 5, William 4, William 3, William 2, William 1 Nickerson). Could any of these Williams be the one tracing back to Richard Warren of Mayflower, or is there a Mayflower line through any of their wives? William (1) married Ann Busby; William (2) married Mercy Williams. William (3) married Deliverance Lombard. William (4) married Sarah Covel. Absolom married Sarah ---. Ensign married Mehitable Crowell (Harwich).

    2. CLARK, PECK. Polly (6) (Peck) Davis, born Nov. 29, 1780, was a descendant of Joseph (1) Peck and Rebecca (Clark) Peck. Who is Rebecca Clark?

    3. SHAW, DAVIS. Who was Grace Shaw who married Elisha Davis?

    4. DAVIS, EATON. Constance Davis, born March 9, 1674, was daughter of James and Elizabeth Eaton Davis. Does this Eaton trace back to Francis Eaton of the Mayflower?
