Annable, Anthony Plymouth Colony, p.235 —William P. Greenlaw, NEHGR 65:380, shows that Anthony Annable married Jane Momford at All Saints Church, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, 26 April 1619. He arrived at Plymouth in 1623 on the Anne, and, since he had four acres in the 1623 land division, his wife and two children probably came with him. On 9 June 1630 he sold a dwelling house and garden plot at Plymouth to Daniel Ray (PCR 12:17), and it was possibly at this time that he moved to Scituate, becoming one of the earliest settlers there. He was on the 1633 list of freemen, and on 1 January 1633/34 he was chosen constable for Scituate (PCR 1:21). He and his wife Jane were original members of the Reverend Lothrop's Scituate Church, and probably left Scituate with Lothrop (NEHGR 9:279). He was a deputy for Scituate 4 June 1639 and a deputy for Barnstable 2 June 1640 (PCR 1:126, 155). His wife Jane died in December 1643, and he married Ann Clarke 1 March 1645/46 (MD 2:212). He made his will 24 February 1672/73, with codicil dated 23 April 1674, sworn 4 June 1674, in which he named his wife Ann, son Samuel, daughter Desire, and other unnamed daughters (MD 25:90). Pope was wrong in calling his second wife Ann Alcocke and in giving him a third wife Hannah (or Ann) Barker. His children by Jane were Sarah and Hannah (both in the 1627 livestock division), a daughter who died young, and Deborah, and those by Ann were Samuel, Ezekiel (who probably died young), and Desire (NEHGR 9:281; MD 2:212-13). Also, the Susanna Annable who married William Hatch at Scituate 13 May 1652 is shown in the vital records as the daughter of Anthony Annable (MD 2:33). Anthony Anable published a recent family history, The Anable Family in America 1623-1967 (Stamford, Conn., 1967).
