  • Notes 
    • "ORNE, NATHANIEL, Barnstable, a mason, came from Nantucket with w. Mary, but was prob. s. of George of Boston. He d. 23 Nov. 1696, had ds. Susanna, Deborah, b. 1 Apr. 1692; and Jane, 24 Oct. 1696, only the last two at B. and the youngest d. soon. His wid. m. 14 Oct. 1697, Samuel Sturgis, and had seven more ch." [2]
    • NATHANIEL ORRIS, b. Boston 27 April 1664 [BVR 93]; m. Boston 11 September 1690 Mary Ivet [BVR 192].

      One grandmother of Deborah [Orris] would have been Elizabeth, the wife of George Orris, whose surname is unknown. The other would have been the mother of Mary Ivet, the wife of Nathaniel Orris. The surname Ivet does not otherwise appear in Boston or Watertown and is most likely a garbled version of some other surname. One of these women had apparently been admitted to Watertown church by about 1650 (or earlier). Since George Orris had already married Elizabeth by 1643 and she was soon after admitted to Boston church, we suggest that Mary Ivet, whatever her correct surname may have been, was a member of a Watertown family.
