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.
