• Notes

  Other than the statistics given on this family, we have very little information. Of course, the backgrounds of both William and Ruth are well documented elsewhere in this genealogy since the Mack and Gee lines were closely associated at Lyme, Connecticut and also at Marlow, New Hampshire. William's brothers Zopher, John, and Silas, and sister Lydia, who married John Gustin, relocated from Lyme to Marlow as early settlers there. Note is to be taken, however, that it is through William Warman Mack that we can accurately place his mother, Abigail Davis, as coming from the Warman line. Some controversy has existed due to the fact that there were two persons sharing the name, Abigail Davis, and many reference sources have chosen the wrong, quite innocently I am sure, Abigail; their choice being the daughter of Abigail (Fox) (Hill) Davis with the erroneous assumption that the daughter Abigail, born of the mother's first marriage, had been known as Abigail Davis rather than Abigail Hill. The correct Abigail Davis who married Ebenezer Mack was a daughter of Abigail Warman and Daniel Davis, hence the source of the middle name for their son, William Warman Mack. In addition, Abigail (Warman) Mack married as her second husband (and his second wife) John Mack, Jr. who was the father of Ebenezer Mack. In his will, William Warman, bequeathed property to his great grandson, William Warman Mack. Not to confuse the issue but rather to illustrate the close association of early families at Lyme, this same William Warman married as his second wife (and her second husband), Sarah (Bagley) Mack, whose first husband was John Mack, Sr. So elements of the Warman line are thus found in each of the first four generations of the Mack family in America. Ebenezer, the father of William Warman Mack, was a Baptist minister at Lyme, Connecticut and for some years lived at Marlow, New Hampshire where it is believed that he contributed to the fact that the first church established there was of this faith, although there is no record that he was a minister of that church. Marlow was (founded by families from Lyme, Connecticut who reportedly were members of the Baptist church there. A brother of Ebenezer named Solomon was one of the very early settlers at Marlow, believed to have been there before 1764.
