Notes
a. Note:   In "First Families of New Haven", we find "Lois Pond, daughter of Moses and Mary (Brainard) Pond born 20 Jun 1730 married Jonathan Linsley".
  Lois gave deed 29 Jun 1771, she must have died soon after.
  Then "Administration on the estate of Jonathan Linsley was granted 10 Mar 1768, to Lois Linsley. Distribution made to: widow, Benjamin, Resign, Lorain, Brainard (who chose Daniel Page for his guardian 1775), Silvanus, Aaron (he chose Daniel Linsley for his guardian 1768), Dorcas wife of Eli Rodgers, Jacob eldest son, Jonathan, and heirs of Sarah Olds.
  Branford Land Records 10 - 392, 29 Jun 1771 Lois Linsley Late of Branford and now of Waterbury, CT, conveys to Daniel Page land set to her from the estate of her late husband Jonathan Linsley dec'd.
  Again 10-393 - 22 Dec 1777, Jacob, Benjamin, Jonathan, and Aaron of Farmington, convey to Daniel Page, land set to our mother Lois Linsley.
  Again 10-464 there are deeds to the heirs of Daniel Page from Braynard Linsley of Stonington, (right set to mother Lois Linsley) and from Resign Linsley of Woodbridge (land set to mother Lois from estate of father Jonathan Linsley).
b. Note:   NF5
Note:   **** NOTE **** *********************************************************************************************************
  The surname BARNES is ONLY a possibility; there is no evidence to date to suggest this is correct.
  *********************************************************************************************************
 The surname name of Damaris has been a mystery for many years. So I'm going to present what I believe is "some evidence" that BARNES maybe correct.
  1) When Jonathan's father died he was allow to pick his own guardian, this information can be found in the Branford, CT records: 21 Oct 1726 - Jonathan Linsley, minor son of Jonathan of Branford deceased, chose Benjamin BARNES of Branford for guardian. Benjamin was Jonathan's uncle (wife of Abigail LINSLEY).
  2) Damaris was the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (DYKE) BARNES. Samuel was Benjamin's younger brother, and since Jonathan was living with the BARNES', he must have known Damaris BARNES.
  3) I have not found any records that state that Damaris BARNES ever married someone else.
