Timelines: The Decade of the 1650s

This decade is a short one - two surnames. Of course one of those is 11 generations! The timeline exercise continues to be an interesting one. I have uncovered "new" information on several families that will be added to the RootsMagic software program. I'm postponing the inclusion of a few timelines until I can investigate the families further. I'll add those at the end with my families that don't "stretch back across the pond." Also, check earlier posts every now & then. I'm finding that I've miscalculated the arrival date of a few families. When that has happened, I have gone back & inserted them in the proper time slot.

MacCallum:
Nov 1651: Malcolm/Micam MacCallam is among those Scots captured at the Battle of Dubar by Cromwell the previous December to be sold into indentured servitude at the Saugus Iron Works [Lynn] & shipped to Boston aboard the Unity.

26 Oct 1680: Ann marries Peter Twiss at Marblehead, MA.
7 Dec 1686: Martha MacKallam is received at the Salem Church from Lynn.
(I have yet to locate the death dates for Malcolm & Martha. They may have moved to Salem after 1677. It appears, at least, that Martha was there as late as 1686.)
