Wives for Robert (1) Linnell and Elisha Mayo (2 Linnell wives?)
I have been going over my (old) research previously done for my Linnell lines and some questions have come to mind; hopefully someone has answers. First: Has it ever been determined for sure (excluding previous histories found, used as sources) that Robert (1) did have two wives, one of whom died in England or perhaps just after emigration? Has a pax list ever been found that would list the family members on the ship?
Second: Did Elisha Mayo have two Linnell wives - first being Hannah Linnell and after her death, a Martha Linnell? Was there a Martha Linnell? This found in : Ancestry of the Children of Robert Croll Stevens, P 146.5, FHL. (15) Jonathan 3 Linnell.....married first Elizabeth -[possibly Mayo?]; Elisha m. (2) Martha Linnell (Mayo Ms, p 26)." What is this Mayo Ms - has anyone seen it for documentation of the second marriage?
