      1. The publication "Search for the Passengers of the "Mary & John" 1630," by Burton W. Spear (Toledo, OH; The Mary & John Clearing House, 1989-2004), 18:64, "Ancestry of Agnes Sampson. Paternal Grandmother of Mary Dolbiar":
      "The following ancestry was taken from TAG 17:136.

      According to TAG 17:137, John Insley Coddington says Agnes Sampson (who m. Robert Dolbiar) was almost certainly a dau. of Nicholas Sampson of Hawkchurch, several of whose children were married at Colyton. The Hawkchurch Parish Register only begins 1663, so that it has not yet been possible to prove this connection, with absolute certainty, but there is much circumstantial evidence in favor of this hypothesis.
      2. Nicholas Sampson of Hawkchurch, Devon, which was in Dorset until 1886.
      3. Agnes Sampson - She m. Robert Dolbiar, 26 Apr. 1563. Colyton, Devon. See Dolbiar family above."
