Edmund Weston (Bowman MD 15:187+) There were numerous intermarriages between the desendants of Edmund Weston, born about 1605? married _______ Delano, and Mayflower families. George Bowman repeatedly corrects misinformation on this family published in "The Descendants of Edmund Weston of Duxbury" 1887 as published in NEHGR141: 285. The only known wife for his son Elnathan was widow "Jane," (Unknown) (not Desire Standish) Elnathan's nephew Nathan married Desire February 21, 1715. Sarah(3) did not marry John Churchill; rather, John Chandler 4 March, 1707/8. Edmond Weston(2) (Edmund1), of Plymouth and Plympton, Mass., was married, on 13 December, 1688, to Rebecca3 Soule, a daughter of John2 Soule (George1) of Duxbury, by his first wife, Rebecca Simmons.
