Notes

Updated March 22, 2025. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) Massachusetts, U.S., Compiled Birth, Marriage, and Death Records via Ancestry.com: Scituate

"STANDLACK Mary, d. Richard, Mar. 24, 1665"

(2) U.S., New England Marriages Prior to 1700 via Ancestry.com

"SILVESTER, Benjamin (1657-1733+) & Mary [STANDLAKE] (1666-); b 1687; Scituate."

(3) Genealogies of Mayflower Families, Vol. III via Ancestry.com

"The Wife of Benjamin-2 SILVESTER. -- In Deane's 'History of Scituate' and in Barry's 'History of Hanover," Mass., it is stated that Benjamin-2 SILVESTER, youngest son of Richard-1 SILVESTER, the immigrant, married in 1684 Lydia, daughter of Richard STANDLAKE; and, in the absence of any other evidence, this statement was repeated in SILVESTER genealogy, in the account there given of Benjamin SILVESTER (Register, vol. 85, p. 264), where, however, the date of the marriage was given as 'probably about 1686,' and the maiden name of Benjamin's wife (called his first wife) was said to be STANDLACK. But in the 'Plymouth Colony Records,' vol. 8, pp. 172-174, 'Deeds,' there is a recorded deed, dated 28 Apr. 1701, by which Lydia STANDLICK, widow of Richard STANDLICK, her three married daughters and their respective husbands, and an unmarried daughter sold real estate to David JACOB of Scituate... This deed seems definitively to prove that Benjamin SILVESTER married Mary STANDLICK (who, as far as is known, was his only wife)... It follows also that Mary (STANDLICK) SILVESTER was the mother of all of Benjamin SILVESTER's eight children."
