  • Notes 
    • Surname of Lt Silas Sears wife Anna In Descendants of Richard Sares, May says "perhaps Bursell" indicating that only the first letter of the last name ("B") is known for sure. Great Migration Begins states "...Anna, probably daughter of James Bursell of Yarmouth". The source for this was Records of the Colony of New Plymouth in New England by Shurtleff and Pulsiver, 1855. Since there appears to be no solid source for Anna's surname, one must rely on secondary sources. With regard to Mr James Bursell's will: On 1 Nov 1676 Emott Bursell and Silas Sears were appointed administrators of the Estate of James Bursell of Yarmouth. This is clearcut circumstantial evidence that Silas Sears Sr's wife's surname was Bursell. [4]
