I share a number of RI families with you and happened to notice that you have Mary Weeden, who m Thomas Greenman as d/o William & Sarah Peckham Greenman (as many have) but I believe (as do others) that she was actually d/o James & Mary (-?-) Weeden. This based on Austin p415 (Weeden entry) under James(3, William2, James1) & Mary (?) Weeden: "He was for some years bereft of his senses, as is seen in the church records and by
the will of his uncle James Weeden. This will (which was proved 1702, Sep. 7) made provision for him if he came 'to his right senses and understanding.' but if not his son William was to have certain houses and land, after paying legacies to his brothers and sisters, all of whom are named. Provision was also made for the wife if she outlived her husband. One daughter was married at the time the will was made (viz: Mary wife of Thomas Greenman), but some of the children were not yet of age."
I owe this info to Wayne James (via emails dated 17 & 19 March 1998), my very favorite cousin where ever he may be! =o)
