NOTES
1). !In The Great Migration Begins, p. 1776, it says tha t J u d ith Stoughton, sister of Thomas and Israel Stoughto n ma rr ie d 1 Henry Denman, and 2 Mr. Smead. I have s earch e d al l records in Ancestral File and Pedigree Resou rce Fi le , an d canfind only John Denman listed as the hu sband o f J udit h Stoughton.
2).  !In TAG 29 4 198, it does not list her birth date. Th e d a t e I found in the IGI from the LDS Church Name Extra cti o n Pr ogram, seems to fit very well.  I will use it a s he r c hrist ening date since Anderson in  The Great Migr atio n Beg ins,   believes that both Judith and Ann were bo rn th ere.   See b elow  !In the same article, Ralph M.Stoughton, gave the follo w i n g regarding Judith Stoughton   Judith, who married  1 s t   Jo hn Denman, and  2nd  a man whose surname was Smea d , co ncern ing whom nothing has been found on record.  S h e was o ne o f thesigners of the Dorchester Church Coven an t in 163 6, an d at the time of her death in 1639 wa s a wid ow. The G enera l Court confirmed Israel Stoughto n as execu tor of th e wil l   of his sister, Judith Smead,    and the di sposal o f her ef fects is onrecord, though n o copy of he r will ha s been pre served.  Though not prove d, it is poss ible tha t Judith wa s a widow before leavin g England and t hat she j ourneyed t o America in 1633 wit h Israel Stoughto n and hi s wife, Eliza beth.  !In TAG 33 105 112, Genevieve Tylee Kiepura, questio n s t h e assumed fact that the widow, Judith Smead, who di e d a t Do rchester, MA, in 1639 was a blood sister to Isra e l Sto ughto n.  She has found no evidence that there eve r w as a J udit h Stoughton, and she believes that Israel   s men tion o f Judi th Smead as his  sister  needs better d ocumen tation . Her ba sic question was   If Judith Smead w ere Isr ael  s o wn sister , why did he not take her young o rphan so n into h is house a nd educatehim. The boy was ap prenticed . Judith   s childre n are not mentioned in the St oughton wi lls, nor w as the sup posed sister, Ann Chamberl ain.  Howev er, accordi ng to Rober t Charles Anderson in   The Great Mi gration Begi ns, the find ings of Kiepuradi d not go far en ough, and tha t she did no t realize that t he Rev. Thomas S toughton was i n Burstead Ma gna at the ti me that Judith an d Ann were born.
