• Notes

  It must have been some years after David settled in New- Haven before he married Damaris Sayre, daughter of Thomas Sayre of Southampton, L. I. There is no tradition as to how or when he met her. Indeed, it was not until 1881 that it was dis covered who she was. A gentleman in looking over the probate records of Southampton reading the will of Thomas Sayre, found that he left forty shillings to his daughter "Damaris, wife of David Atwater, of New Haven." Thomas Sayre was a native of Bedfordshire, England.
