James Summerhill, child of William, has his 1725 will witnessed by
Martha Keech (this would be his l/2 sister). He has sons named James
and Samuel (again named after Samuel Williamson his grandfather).
Next of kin: Elinor Briscoe (this would be his aunt maiden name Elinor
Williamson), Mary Keech (his mother), Gender Erickson (married Mary
Middleton, daughter of William Middleton who married Elizabeth Keech
widow of John Keech), John Cornwall)


Gender Erickson (married Mary Middleton, daughter of William Middleton

Sy and list,
Just to let you know, that Gunder Erickson's wife Mary is not the dau. of Wm
Middleton, that is "OLD" research. I think the surname of Mary, Gunder's
wife is to this day unknown..
Wm Middleton that married Elizabeth Teares didn't have a dau. Mary
Middleton.
One more thing, Robert Middleton didn't have a dau. Elizabeth, that married
Benjamin Belt, Sr. Robert and Mary Wheeler only had 5 sons.
Shirley Middleton
