The Final Stumbling Blocks: Who were these people really?

This is the final stumbling blocks post. If anyone can help with any of the families, drop me a line. I ran this series of posts to show myself where blanks need to be filled - future research. This last group is mostly "either-or," "might be," or family lore. Who's who needs to be determined.

Blom?: This has been addressed before. Was Tryntje Barents Blom Christoffels the 2nd wife of Arent Jansen Prall? [I believe she was.]

Campbell?: Was the maiden name of Hugh Mahurin's wife, Mary, Campbell? A Campbell family lived near the Mahurins. One of the Campbells was Ebenezer. He may have been Mary's father. Ebenezer became a Mahurin family name in the next generation.

Fulford?: Richard Dowrish married a daughter of Thomas Fulford. Was it Joan?

Hales?: Was Jane Hales the wife of George Benedict, Sr.?

Hawkyn/Sorrell?: In her will, Alice [James] Olmstead mentions the names Hawkyn and Sorrell. It is believed that one or the other was her maiden name. Which?

Hills/Williams?: OK, this one borders on weird. The maiden name of Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Harris, may have been Hill or Williams. However, Thomas doesn't help the situation. In some records he was listed as Williams, in others as "Williams alas Harris." So Thomas and not Elizabeth may be the problem. She may have been a Hills and Thomas either Williams and/or Harris. [His father was William Harris. Dabbling in patronymics perhaps?]

Johnston/Ross?: Scotsman Robert Douglas has been assigned two different wives. Presumably, he was married once. Was Nicolace Johnston or Jean Ross the mother of William Douglas, Sr.?

Lewis?: Job St. John married a girl named Sarah about 1749. It is believed her maiden name was Lewis. Confirmation needed!

Nelson?: This one was discussed in the Simmons entry awhile back. DAR records show Mary Nelson as the 1st wife of John Simmons, Jr. Documentation is still needed.

Wryall?: The maiden name of Elder William Brewster's wife, Mary is not know. Wentworth was once a possibility, but eventually abandoned. Wryall was offered by genealogist John G. Hunt, but met with skepticism. Wryall still remains a disputed possibility.
