This is my line too, Hattie Nickerson m. William Lord 18 Jan 1641/42 in Saybrook, CT.LDS Ancestral File submitters have Hattie/Harriet as the daughter of William Nickerson and Anne Busby of Cape Cod.But I am almost certain that that is incorrect.
How did Hattie manage to get married in Saybrook, when the rest of her family was on Cape Cod? I am not aware of any Cape Cod - Saybrook interaction historically.Also William Nickerson and Anne Busby were married 24 June 1627, and Hattie was married 18 Jan 1641/42, less than 15 years after her supposed parents were married.So the dates do not work either.
Also, Hattie can refer to Mehitable as well as Hrriet as a name, but I have found nothing for a Mehitable Nickerson in saybrook.
