What We Know About This Family
An Overview of Their Lives
Very little information other than the vital records presented could be found for this union of two people descended from some of the earliest Marblehead settlers and parents of numerous children. Miriam is noteworthy for the number of children she gave birth to (18), although sadly, many died young.
Miriam was the daughter of Deacon John Stacey and his wife Agnes Pedrick. Ephraim. Sr. was the grandson of our ancestors, Arthur and Margaret Sandin.
Ephraim, Jr. and Miriam had several children together, the last one baptized in Dec 1725. In February 1725, the four sons of Miriam's marriage to John Gale filed court papers "choosing" Ephraim as their legal guardian. The oldest, our ancestor John was then 14 years old. I have been unable to find records of death for Miriam, Ephraim, Jr. or any of the children. The fact that her last child was baptized the same year that her second husband filed for guardianship leads me to speculate that she died about that time.
Proof of Relationship
Vital statistics and the guardianship document are our best proof of relationship.
What Else We Need to Learn
The goal of this project is to trace every line of ancestry to the arrival of its first immigrant to America. The basic information of each couple is considered complete when we know the dates of birth, marriage, and death for both spouses. their parents' names (or whether they were the immigrant), and the child or children in our ancestry line.
The research on this family is complete. A later check might find more information about the children.
