Frost, Sept. 13, 1705; and, in fact, it is possible that all these children, after Nathaniel,--that is, from and including No. 13,--may be the offspring of a different John and Lydia. This, however, is but a surmise; and, from the wills, I judge a very improbable one. |

She was mother-in-law of Deacon John Whitmore; and her husband was probably a near relative of the apostle to the Indians.
My reasons for this surmise are: 1.
That one of the brothers of Rev. John Eliot mentions in his will that he had property in the hands of this Francis, at Braintree.
2. Edmund Hobart was father of Joshua and of Thomas Hobart.
Caleb, son of this Thomas, m. Mary, dau. of Francis Eliot.
His cousin Peter m. Susanna, dau. of Jacob Eliot, and niece of the apostle.
Such a coincidence can hardly have resulted without a connection between these families of Eliots.
