Goldstone, Concord, Mass., 1600s
Are there any Goldstones out there?
I'm descended from Sarah Goldstone and Joseph Merriam Sr. who wed in Kent, England about 1623 and emigrated to Mass. about 1638 aboard the Castle. They settled in Concord, Mass. Sarah's father John emigrated independently aboard the Confidence, not sure what year.
Several Gedcoms I've seen say that Sarah and her father died on the same day, 3-12-1671, in Concord, Mass.
Can anyone confirm this or tell the background to these simultaneous deaths?
Incidently, for all these N.C. posts, I grew up in Lee Co., just across the line from Goldston and can probably help with any geography questions about that region.
