Hi Douglas,

You may be right that the name of Damaris' first (Shattuck) husband is
not given in New England records (did he even come to New England?).
Her son was definitely named Samuel. Her second husband was Mr.
Thomas Gardner of Salem, father of her son-in-law Richard Gardner of
Salem and Nantucket. So G.E. McCracken's article on the Salem
Gardners (_TAG_, 1940s or 50s) may say something more about the
identity of Damaris' first husband.

If you mention this to WAR, you might want to tell him that his #1951,
Lucy (Smith) Gardner, is incorrect, as well. This Lucy was the wife
of Thomas Gardner, Jr., OF ROXBURY--no connection of the Salem
Gardners.

John
