    Notes 
    • CHR: VITAL RECORDS OF SALEM, 6 vols. (Salem, MA, 1916-25), 2:176 (FHL #975.45/S1 V2e).
      MAR: No mar rec found. Joseph Pickworth, his wife Abigail, and John Elithorp sued Abraham, Thomas, and Ephraim Jones in Ipswich Court, 27 Sep 1681, for withholding 27 pounds (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 8:166 [FHL #974.45 P2e]). The implication is that Abigail Pickworth and John Elithorp are heirs to an inheritance being withheld by the administrators or executors. Abigail, widow of Thomas Elithorp, married Thomas Jones. On 6 Apr 1688 she joined with son Nathaniel Elithorp and daughters Abigail Pickworth and Mary Ryley in appointing son John Elithorp attorney for business at Rowley (Charles Henry Pope, THE PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS [Boston, 1900; repr Baltimore, 1991], 155 [FHL #974.4 D2p]). The original documents cited by Pope have not been found. John Elithorp was also appointed power of attorney for Joseph Pickworth to receive his portion of the estate of Joseph's brother John Pickworth, 26 Jun 1683, Essex Co. Probate, (o.s.) 2:45 (FHL #860485). It seems highly likely that Joseph Pickworth married Abigail, dau of Thomas and Abigail Elithorp.
      DEATH: No death rec found. Joseph was living in Marblehead, 1 Feb 1692/3, when he sold land in Manchester, formerly belonging to his father, to John Lee (Essex Co. Deeds, 32:221-22 [FHL #866028]).
