"On 10 October 1657 my 9th great grandfather, Emanuel Hilliard, was granted a farm in Hampton, New Hampshire by his wife's uncle, the Rev. Timothy Dalton. One of Emanuel's four sons was named Timothy.
Ten days later Emanuel Hilliard was one of eight people on board the board 'Rivermouth', which was lost between Hampton, NH and Boston on 20 Oct 1657. All presumed drowned. His estate was appraised on 19 Nov 1657 in Hampton (Old Norfolk Co, MA Deeds, Vol 1, p.74- this part of New Hampshire still being part of Massachusetts). He left a widow and 4 children.
His widow Elizabeth Parkhurst remarried in 1659 to Joseph Merry and had four more children. He was about 62 years old when the last child was born. His gravestone in Edgartown states that he lived to be 103 years old.
....She was born on 18 May 1628 and died on 6 Oct 1727, Martha's Vineyard, MA.
