Notes for Phebe LUDLAM

TAG 20:17; TAG 20:154-155.
In "William Ludlam of Southampton, Long Island", TAG 20:17, Conklin Mann,
lists "?PHEBE, b. say 1671. Howell, Halsey and other writers on Southampton
and East Hampton state that the wife of 'Samuel Parsons of East Hampton' was
Phebe Ludlam. As their 'Samuel Parsons' is largely a mixture of Samuel 2
(Robert 1), Samuel 3 (John 2, Robert 1), and Samuel 4 (Samuel 3, John 2,
Robert 1), no great reliance need be put on their choice of his wife. East
Hampton recs. contain many references to the 'wife of Samuel Parsons,' i.e.
Samuel 3 (John 2, Robert 1), none of which gives her name. It is difficult to
figure how the Deborah Parsons mentioned as sister in the will of Jane
Conkling in 1738 could have been other than the wife of Samuel 3 Parsons. If
his first wife was Phebe Ludlam, he may have later m. her sister, Deborah, but
Phebe may be entirely imaginary."
