- ↑ FamilySearch.org has born (bp?) 5 Oct 1624 England, son of William and Lucy Harlow. This information had no source associated with it, and is questionable.
- ↑ Four children by this marriage, but no Mayflower line.
- ↑ Six children by this marriage, but no Mayflower line.
- ↑ 1652 only in record. Much more likely 1652/3 rather than 1651/2, based on births of other children.
