Editing Nathaniel Eaton (section)

==Notes==
1. {{note|mrseaton}} Cf. [[Samuel Eliot Morison]] ''Builders of the Bay Colony'' (1930) pp 190–191 where can be found his wife's supposed confession that was obviously coerced. Allegations of embezzlement appear to be ''[[ex post facto]]'', or after the fact, and when one compares the entries in: [[Thomas Lechford]]'s ''Note Book Kept by Thomas Lechford Lawyer, 1638–1641'' (1885), it can be seen that Nathaniel paid all his debts, and was even owed money by Thomas Lechford himself.

2. {{note|ctrptr}} Cf. Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, M.D. ''Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England'' (1853, vol I) p.&nbsp;275; and subsequent later trials such as the [[Salem Witch Trials]] where it can be seen that testimonies at trial, etc., were thereafter taken down.

3. {{note|grads}} According to Cotton Mather's ''[[Magnalia Christi Americana]]'' (1702), the graduating class of 1642 included the following individuals:
:[[Benjamin Woodbridge]]
:Georgius [George] Downing
:Johannes Bulklæus [John Bulkeley]
:Gulielmus [William] Hubbard
:Samuel Bellingham
:Johannes Wilsonus [John Wilson]
:Henricus [Henry] Saltonstall
:Tobias Barnardus [Barnard]
:Nathanael Brusterus [Nathaniel Brewster]

4. {{note|winthrop}} James Savage, ''Winthrop's Journal "The History of New England" 1630–1649'' (1825–26 edition). There are other versions, including the original 1649 version, but Savage's annotated edition, or its 1853 revision, is considered to be the most comprehensive.

5. {{note|spvar}} Many spelling variations exist, such as "Greaves" for "Graves". Some authorities state that Ann was the daughter of Francis Graves, the son of Thomas Graves. She later married [[Francis Doughty (clergyman)|Francis Doughty]] as her third and final husband.
